Baked Apples with Honey, Walnuts and Marsala
Whole apples cored and packed with walnuts, raisins and honey, basted in Marsala and butter until the skins blister and the flesh turns soft and jammy. A spoonful of whipped mascarpone melts over the top at the table, turning the pan juices into a loose, boozy cream sauce.

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Core the two apples from the stem end, leaving the base intact, and widen the cavity slightly with a teaspoon.
2
Score a shallow line around the equator of each apple with a knife to stop the skin splitting.
3
In a small bowl mix the chopped walnuts, raisins, honey, half the cinnamon and the lemon juice.
4
Stand the apples upright in two individual baking dishes and pack the walnut-raisin mixture firmly into each cavity, mounding any extra on top.
5
Dot the softened butter over the stuffed tops and spoon the Marsala around the base of each apple in the dish.
6
Dust the remaining cinnamon over the apples and bake for 35-40 minutes, basting once with the pan juices halfway through, until the apples are tender when pierced and the tops are caramelised.
7
Rest the apples in their dishes for 5 minutes, then spoon the thickened pan juices over the top.
8
Top each apple with a spoonful of lightly whipped mascarpone just before serving.
