Spiced apples served with rum and cream. Because this life is yours to enjoy. Celebrate the abundance of in-season apples with this recipe. A sprinkling of fresh thyme at the end adds a delightful savoury aroma and flavour.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Add cream, sugar, spice and rum and mix well to combine.
Place the apples in a large baking tray, cut side down, and brush them with the butter mixture. Turn the apples over and brush the other side. Reserve the remaining mixture to serve. Pour some water into the baking dish so that the base is covered just enough to avoid apples burning.
Bake for 30-50 minutes depending on how ripe your apples are (allow for a longer time if they are crunchy), carefully basting with juices at the bottom of the pan every 10 minutes. The apples are ready when they are starting to fall apart and collapse into themselves.
Let the apples cool slightly, then serve with the remaining butter mixture, extra thick cream and a sprinkle of fresh thyme.
Recipe Note
Cooking time may vary depending on the ripeness of the apples.
