Granny’s Vacherin Fribourgeois Baked Apples


Adapted from a Swiss Marketing recipe


Ingredients:
160 g Vacherin Fribourgeois diced (divide into eight servings)
4 Granny Smith apples
40 g butter
25 g hazelnut or almond powder
20 g breadcrumbs


Preparation and Cooking:
Preheat your oven to 350o F


Cut apples in two and remove core


Using a spoon remove flesh (inside of the apple) in strips, leaving 1/2 cm around the edges creating a ½ apple cup.


Mix the flesh strips with the butter and divide back into the half-apples. Bake in oven for 25 minutes in a large gratin dish or individual ovenproof dishes.


Mix breadcrumbs with hazelnut powder (divide in to 8 portions).


Once baked, add 1 portion (1/8th) of Vacherin Fribourgeois to every half-apple and top with breadcrumb mixture (1/8th).
