Aimer faire plaisir à ceux qu'on aime

Ingredients

• 60 ml (1/4 cup) sugar
• 1 egg
• 30 ml (2 tbsp.) butter, melted
• 60 ml (1/4 cup) hazelnut powder
• 4 red apples from Quebec
• 125 ml (1/2 cup) Agropur Grand Cheddar Réserve Spéciale, grated

Preparation 

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

In a bowl, beat the sugar with the egg for about 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens and becomes frothy. Add the butter and hazelnut powder. Set aside.

Cut the apples in half. Hollow out slightly the centres of the apple halves, using a small melon scoop, so that you may stuff them. Set aside the apple balls that you removed with the scoop.

Top the apple halves with the scooped apple balls, and cover with the hazelnut cream mixture. Top with grated cheese, and place in a baking dish.

Bake for about 25 minutes. Serve hot with maple fudge sauce.
