Ingredients

  1. 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unfiltered apple juice
  2. 2 tablespoons currants
  3. 2 tablespoons apricot jam
  4. 2 tablespoons toasted chopped almonds
  5. 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  6. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  7. 6 medium apples, cored 2/3 of the way down and the top 1/3 peeled
  8. Crema, for serving (optional), recipe follows
  9. 2 cups heavy cream
  10. 1/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 2 tablespoons of the apple juice just to a simmer and remove from the heat. Add the currants, stir, and let them sit for 10 minutes to swell. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a bowl, stir together the apricot jam, almonds, and brown sugar. Add the currants with their juice and mix together well. Use this mixture to stuff the apples. Place them in a small roasting pan and place a dab of butter on the top of each. Pour the remaining 1 cup of apple juice into the pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until tender but not split or mushy. Serve hot, with a dollop of Crema, if desired.
  3. Whisk the cream and the buttermilk together in a bowl. Cover and set in a warm place (a gas oven with just the heat from the pilot light is fine) for 8 hours. Crema may be kept in the refrigerator for as long as a week.
