Apricot & Marzipan Baked Apples

￿2

Ingredients

4 medium sized cooking apples

50g (2oz) marzipan

200g (7oz) can apricot halves

Serves 2

Dish: 20cm (8”) shallow dish

Roll out marzipan and cut into 4 circles with an 8½ cm (3¼”) cutter. Core the apples and cut in half horizontally. Cover the bottom half of each of the apples with a circle of marzipan and 3 apricot halves. Place the other half of each apple on top. Fill the centre of each apple with apricots and place in a shallow dish. Place on base of oven and cook on MEDIUM MICROWAVE for 8-10 mins. Stand for 2-3 mins before serving.

NB The apples will look quite green when removed from the oven, but they should feel slightly soft when tested with a sharp knife. During the standing time, the colour will become dull and the apples will be tender. The apples will overcook very easily, so take care to undercook slightly.
