This dessert checks all those requirements for me. It’s easy to prepare and looks and tastes fancier, it’s all about making an impression when it comes to entertaining! You literally take an apple, core it out, then stuff the core with some more apples and raisins and then cook them in port wine. The green cardamom and vanilla bean tie the flavor components of the apples and the wine by giving it a gentle floral and sweet flavor. If you want to make it even fancier, I’d highly recommend a scoop of good vanilla or coconut ice cream on the side.  You can grab the recipe here!

Use good baking apples that hold their shape well on exposure to heat. The green cardamom and vanilla bean are the big flavor boosters in this recipe so skip the extracts in this one. Use a good port wine, one that you like to drink. If there’s any leftover port sauce, I’ll collect it in a jar and refrigerate to use as a sauce over plain vanilla ice cream. It’s good!

Disclaimer: Thank you to Wolf Gourmet for sponsoring this post and giveaway! All opinions expressed are solely my own. my fav spring time meal is hearty salad with whatever veggies is available with chickpeas and vinaigrette of some sort. I like your style and your thinking in the kitchen. These apples look amazing. Thanks for the chance to enter this giveaway. My favorite spring meal is pretty much anything topped with spring greens. Roasted asparagus. Simple omelets. Anything quick so we can get out to work in the garden. Good luck with all the home projects! Cat on a harness. Very cool. D I don’t have much a regular repertoire, but I love throwing together a pasta with spring veggies. It’s quick and easy (and also a great “clean out the fridge” meal) What a delicious idea.
