Baked apples. Good, old fashioned, not been messed around with, just ordinary food. Nice and simple.
All you need to serve two is:
2 cooking apples (Bramely)
2 - 3 tablespoons of soft brown sugar
1 small handful of sultanas
1 tablespoon water
Preheat your oven to 190C
Get yourself an oven proof dish that's big enough to hold your apples with a bit of room to spare. Butter the dish well.
Now, using an apple corer, remove the core and discard. 
Score a ring around the circumference of each apple - to stop them bursting open while they are in the oven.
Place the apples in the buttered dish and pour about 1 tablespoon of sugar into each of the apples, where the core was. Now spoon in the sultanas.
Add just 1 tablespoon of water to the bottom of the dish.
Put the apples into your preheated oven to bake. About 45 minutes will do the trick. Or until they have cooked nicely and have just started to 'burst' out of their skins. They will now be nice and brown, oozing sticky gooey sugar from them.

A lovely seasonal dish! You can't beat apples and custard!!
I'm not crazy for the apple, but will take the filling and tons of custard!
I want baked apples now...make another batch for me...see ya soon!
You are a girl after my own heart Jan. I love baked apples, even more than apple pie, and you have to have custard on it!
The dish looks absolutely scrumptious. Who can resist apples and custard?
We don't have Bramely apples here (well I have never heard or seen them here) but we do have a green apple variety we call 'Granny Smith'. Would that do? My husband uses them to make apple pie.
Yup - looks good. And it's perfect timing because of the fall!

Jan, that looks fantastic! And definitley custard for a topper. I have yet to introduce Keith to the joys of custard. (he likes ice cream). Much love, Raquel XO
Lovely! Puddings are always better with lashings of custard.
Oh man, does that look terrific. I love your step by step photos, too. This is a lovely dish, and I want a giant serving! YUM!
Good old fashioned comfort food - you can't beat baked apples and custard. They look lovely.
I don't think I have ever had a baked apple (other than in pies and such). It looks so good! Bookmarked
Sweet memories! This was the first thing we learnt to make in home economics in grade 3!
This dish just screams comfort food for these cooler nights:D
These are my total favourite standby dessert dish - when we came to London I bought an aple corer almost immediately specifically so that I could make this :)
