Baked Apples With Pasta

• 1 cup pasta pre-cooked to almost the 'al dente' stage
• 4 cooking apples larges
• 60 grams butter softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 60 grams hazelnuts roasted and chopped
• 4 glace cherries halved
• 1/2 cup sultanas pre-soaked in a little brandy, if possible
• 80 grams melted butter

1. Peel and core the apples. Cream together the sugar and the softened butter.
2. Add the pasta, cinnamon, nuts and the cherries. Fill the apples with the mixture and place them close together on a buttered ovenproof dish. Pour the melted butter over the tops of the apples, cover with foil and bake in a moderate oven ( 350F / 180C) for 30 minutes.
3. After 20 minutes baking, remove the foil and sprinkle the tops of the apples with the sultanas and a little more brown sugar. Return to the oven and bake (uncovered) until tender. Serve with cream or ice cream.
