Baked Apple with Chestnut Filling

Preheat the oven to 160 °C fan (or 180 °C conventional) and grease a baking dish.

Wash and peel the apples and carefully core them, taking care not to pierce the bottom.

Arrange the apples side by side in the buttered baking dish.

Roughly crumble the butter biscuits and mix with the chestnut purée, sugar and ground almonds to form a filling.

Spoon the filling into the apples, place a small piece of butter on top of each and pour the apple juice into the dish.

Bake the apples for about 30 minutes, until they are soft and the surface turns crispy.

Divide the baked apples among 4 plates, spoon over the sauce from the dish and serve immediately.
