Ingredients
- 8 large pink lady apples, halved lengthways
- 1 tablespoon castor sugar
- 1½ tablespoons reduced-fat spread, melted
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 8 small scoops reduced-fat vanilla ice cream, to serve
- Pecan crumble
- 2 tablespoons castor sugar
- 3 tablespoons reduced-fat spread, melted
- 2 teaspoons plain flour
- ¹/³ cup finely chopped pecan nuts
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 180°C. On a board, place one apple half, cut-side down. Make thin, evenly spaced cuts at 5mm intervals, to about two-thirds of the way through. Repeat with remaining apple halves. In a large baking dish, place apples in a single layer.
2 In a small bowl, combine sugar, spread and cinnamon. Brush the cinnamon mixture over apples. Bake, covered, for 30 minutes, or until the apples are just tender. Take out and cool.
3 Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine all the crumble ingredients until crumbs form.
4 When apples are cool to touch (about 10 minutes), fan open the apple slices before scattering with the pecan crumble. Bake apples for a further 15 minutes, or until golden and tender.
5 Serve apples warm, topped with a small scoop of ice cream. Pear and double chocolate crumble
