Step-by-step
- Core the apples, leaving a little at the bottom so the filling doesn’t come out.
- Ensure that you make plenty of room for filling and score the skin around the circumference of the apple.
- Spoon some mincemeat into the cavity, followed by one whole Champagne truffle then fill to top with mincemeat, sprinkle with a teaspoon of brown sugar and top with knob of butter.
- Stand the apples in a baking tray with a little water in bottom and bake in the oven at 160-180°C (315-350°F/gas mark 3-4) for 35-45 minutes depending on the size of your apple.
- In a mixer, whip the cream, sugar, a dash of vanilla and the ground cardamom seeds until peaked.
- Serve cream on the side of the apple.
