Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6 and find a small ovenproof roasting dish that will fit 4 apples comfortably inside. Mix the sugar and butter together until smooth, then add the amaretti and oats and stir well.

Step 2

Use a paring knife to remove the core, plus a bit extra, from each apple, being careful not to go all the way through. Use a teaspoon to help remove all the seeds. Run a knife lightly around the circumference of each apple, scoring through the skins so they split neatly.

Step 3

Fill each apple with the filling, pressing firmly to pack as much in as you can. Arrange in the roasting dish, then fill with enough water so it comes ¼ of the way up the apples.

Step 4

Bake for 35-40 minutes. The topping should be crispy, and the apples will give when you squeeze them but should have a slight firmness. Bake for a further 5 minutes if you like them softer. Carefully remove from the water, then serve hot, with vanilla ice cream and No.1 Salted Caramel Sauce, if liked.
