Ingredients

• 6 apples, Renette if possible (grey pippin or grey pearmain in English)
  
• 1/4 cup (50 g) unsalted butter
  
• 4 ounces (100 g) sultana raisins
  
• 1/2 cup (125 ml) white wine
  
• 1 ounce (30 g) candied citron
  
• 1/2 cup (50 g) sugar

• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Cook Time: 30 minutes

• Total Time: 50 minutes

Preparation

Plump the raisins to in some of the white wine.

In the meantime, core the apples without peeling them and put them in a lightly buttered oven-proof pan that's pretty enough to double as a serving dish.

Fill the holes in the apples with raisins, topping off each with a little candied citron and a dot of butter, dust the apples with the sugar, and sprinkle the remaining wine into the pan.

Bake them in a moderate oven (370 F, 185 C) for a bout a half hour, or until the apples are done and the wine has evaporated. Serve warm.
