Step-by-step

  1. Core the apples, leaving a little at the bottom so the filling doesn’t come out.
  2. Ensure that you make plenty of room for filling and score the skin around the circumference of the apple.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. In a mixer, whip the cream, sugar, a dash of vanilla and the ground cardamom seeds until peaked.
  6. Serve cream on the side of the apple.
