French Food Friday - Pommes au four

 

I had to smile when I saw this recipe on  the le creuset website as we loved baked apples and ironically have some similar dishes which I have never thought of using to serve our baked apples in.

It is a great idea as I am sure it is easier to eat them this way. I normally serves ours on a large plate with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream arranged in a small dish.

4 medium golden apples 30g unsalted butter 1 vanilla pod 60 g of brown sugar 2 good pinches of cinnamon powder 1 pinch of anise seeds 1 pinch of caraway Pinch of salt 1 sheet of aluminum foil
