Baked Buttered Apples are a classic dessert that is popular in many countries. They are typically made by hollowing out apples and stuffing them with a mixture of breadcrumbs, butter, and sugar, and then baking until they are tender and golden brown. In this recipe, we have added hazelnuts and sultanas to the breadcrumb mixture to provide extra flavor and texture. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or as a sweet treat to share with friends and family.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2.	Cut off the tops of the apples and scoop out the cores and seeds, leaving a hollow in the center.
3.	In a bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, ginger, and caster sugar. Add in the hazelnuts and sultanas, stirring until well combined.
4.	Stuff each apple with the breadcrumb mixture and top each with a small piece of butter.
5.	Place the apples in a baking dish and pour enough water to cover the bottom of the dish.
6.	Bake in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until the apples are tender and the tops are golden brown.
