If you love autumnal desserts, you’ll want to see how Emeril puts a unique twist on baked apples. Tart, creamy, and a little sweet—they’ve got it all! • GOAT CHEESE STUFFED BAKED APPLES • SERVES 4 • 1/3 cup brandy, preferably Armagnac • 1/4 cup golden raisins • 1/4 cup dark raisins • 4 ounces goat cheese, room temperature • 2 tablespoons honey • 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest • 4 large Golden Delicious apples • 3/4 cup pure apple cider • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar • Mascarpone, for garnish (optional) • Finely chopped toasted walnuts • Confectioners’ sugar, for garnish • Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish (optional) • • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. • In a small saucepan, gently heat Armagnac over medium heat. Place raisins in a bowl and cover with warm Armagnac. Let stand until plumped, about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving liquid. • In a small bowl, mash goat cheese, honey, lemon zest, and 2 teaspoons reserved Armagnac until smooth. Add raisins and mix until well blended. Refrigerate until slightly firm, about 20 minutes. • Using an apple corer or a small melon baller, scoop out the stems, cores, and seeds from the apples, leaving the bottoms intact. Using a paring knife or peeler, remove skin from the top inch of each apple. Transfer apples to a small baking dish. • Divide goat cheese mixture evenly between the cavities of the apples. • In a bowl, whisk together cider and sugar, and remaining Armagnac, if desired. Pour over apples. Transfer to oven and bake, uncovered, until apples are tender, 45 to 40 minutes, basting every 10 to 15 minutes. • Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. • Transfer apples to plates. Drizzle with pan juices, and top with a small dollop of mascarpone, if desired. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and serve immediately with a sprig of mint, if desired. • • • • Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, copyright Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, LP., all rights reserved. • For More Ways To Kick It Up A Notch Subscribe Here: https://www.youtube.com/user/emeril?s... • • Stay Connected With Emeril On: • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emeril/?hl=en • Facebook: / emeril • Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/EmerilL...
