Ingredients

10 Freshline ThriftPak Granny Smith apples
6 SPAR shortbread biscuits, roughly broken
85 g dried fruit cake mix
1 ml ground cloves
50 ml brandy or SPAR apple juice
1 ml salt
10 ml whole-grain mustard mixed with 30 g SPAR butter
Optional
20 whole cloves
10 fresh sage leaves

Method

Rinse and pat dry the apples. Core each apple generously, and slit the skin in a few places from the cavity edge outwards. Secure a sage leaf on the outside of each apple, with two cloves (if you are using the cloves and sage).
In a small mixing bowl, combine the shortbread, fruit, cloves, brandy or apple juice and salt. Set aside for 5 minutes to soften. Mash with a fork.
Spoon this filling into the apple cavities and dot the mustard-butter on top.
Place the apples close up against the gammon during its last 30 minutes glazing kettle braai/oven time.

Hints & Tips

Use this same filling in the cavities of canned drained SPAR peach halves, cooked facing upwards. Omit the clove and sage leaves step.
