Ingredients

Instructions

  • Apples
    • Rinse the apples. Cut off a cap about one centimeter thick.
    • Using a vegetable peeler, remove the seeds from the apple (be careful not to pierce the bottom!).
      Next, scoop out the flesh with a tbsp, leaving enough flesh around the edges (1/2 to 1 cm), otherwise your apple will fall apart while baking!
      Dice the apple flesh.
    • Peel and finely chop the shallots, then sauté them over low heat in 30 g of butter for 2–3 minutes .
    • Add the diced apples to the shallots and continue cooking over medium heat for about 5 minutes .
      The apples should have softened and taken on a light golden color, but don’t let them lose all their moisture, or the filling will be too dry.
      Sprinkle with cinnamon (optional).
    • Pour the Armagnac over the apples, and flambé them over medium heat, holding a match close to the edge of the pan (do not hold it directly over the top to avoid burns).
      If you are using a range hood, be sure to turn it off when flambéing to avoid any risk of fire!

    • Once the flames have died down, set the apples aside in a bowl.
  • The blood sausage
    • Peel the blood sausage and chop it into small pieces.
    • Sauté the blood sausage for 5 minutes over medium heat, so that it softens slightly and releases its fat.
    • Then add the apple flesh and mix everything together well.
  • Assembly
    • Preheat the oven to 170°C.
      Fill each apple with the stuffing, pressing it down slightly if necessary, and cover each one with its "lid."
    • Melt 20g of butter and brush the apples with the melted butter using a pastry brush… then finish by pouring the remaining melted butter over each apple!
  • Baking
    • Bake the apples for 30 minutes in a deep baking dish (using a baking sheet like the one in the photo may cause some of the apples to collapse during baking).
    • Serve these apples stuffed with blood sausage piping hot and glazed with caramelized butter… a guaranteed treat 😋
