Step 1

Preheat oven to 170 degree celsius.

Step 2

Using an apple corer or small sharp knife remove only the core from the apples (keeping the apple whole). Cut out a little extra apple until you form a 2cm wide hole.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, score the apples all the way around the middle in a circular motion.

Step 4

Place the apples in an ovenproof dish, just large enough to hold them.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the walnuts, currants, sugar (or substitute), cinnamon and orange zest; add 1 tablespoon of the orange juice and stir to combine.
