February 19th, 2011
    Ingredients
  • Melted butter, to grease
  • 80g fresh or dried dates, pitted
  • 60g (1/3 cup) blanched almonds, very finely chopped
  • 1 tbs brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 (about 200g) Granny Smith apple
  • 20g (1 tbs) butter, melted, cooled
  • Vanilla ice-cream, to serve

Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush 2 shallow, 250ml (1-cup) ovenproof dishes with the melted butter to lightly grease.
Roughly chop dates. Place dates, almonds, sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
Use a vegetable peeler to peel the apple.
Cut apple into quarters, remove core and cut into 1cm-thick wedges.
Divide apple wedges between the greased dishes. Sprinkle with date and almond mixture, and sprinkle with cooled melted butter.
Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the apples are just tender and the tops are golden. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool slightly. Serve topped with a small scoop of ice-cream.
