Instructions
Apples are divided into dessert (or eating) and cooking apples. While cooking apples can only be used for culinary purposes because they have a sour taste, some dessert apples, especially if firm, can be used in cooking. Look for smooth-skinned apples and avoid any with brown bruises.-
Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/ Gas 4. Remove the cores from the apples, leaving them whole.
-
With a canella or sharp knife, cut lines through the apple skin at intervals and place in an ovenproof dish.
-
Mix together the honey, lemon rind and juice, and low fat margarine.
-
Spoon the mixture into the apples and cover the dish with foil or a lid. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Serve with custard made from skimmed milk.
