  • 50 g muscovado sugar light
  • tbsp butter

Equipment

  • oven
  • knife

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas
  2. Using a sharp knife, score a line around the equator of each apple.
  3. Put them into a baking dish with a small splash of water in the bottom.
  4. In a bowl, combine the ginger, cinnamon, prunes and sugar. Stuff the mixture into the apples so that they are well packed. Top each with a knob of butter and bake for 35-40 mins, or until cooked through. To test, pierce with a sharp knife it should slide straight through.
