How to Make Sticky Maple Pecan Baked Apples With Toffee Fudge Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4).
  2. Core 4-6 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Braeburn) and carefully cut a line around the middle of each.
  3. Place apples in a roasting tin. In each apple cavity, alternately press in 1 tbsp (14g) unsalted butter, 1 tbsp (12g) packed light brown sugar, and 1 tbsp (5g) chopped pecans. Press any excess on top of the apples.
  4. In the roasting tin, pour in 2 tbsp Calvados or brandy (or apple juice), 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 tbsp maple syrup.
  5. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until apples are tender.
  6. Remove apples from oven and transfer to a serving dish. Pour the cooking juices and liquid from the tin into a saucepan.
  7. Bring the saucepan to a high heat on the hob.
  8. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced and thickened to a sticky syrup (about 10-15 minutes).
  9. Stir in 100ml heavy cream and simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
  10. Pour the warm toffee sauce over the baked apples. Serve immediately with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
