Savory Stuffed Apples Recipe

Savory Stuffed Apples

From icecreamuffin 13 years ago

Savory and sweet combined....if you are like me and love apples enough to eat them for dinner, then this is the dish for you.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Set out a baking sheet and a 6-cup muffin pan.
Use a large cutting board as your workspace; it's about to get messy. Slice the tops off of each apple, and use a knife to cut a circle around the inside edge, but don't cut all the way through. Then make a tic-tac-toe grid around the core. Scoop out the pieces with a spoon, and discard the core See Photo. Dice the leftover apple and set aside in a bowl. Drizzle diced apples and the apple "bowls" and "lids" with lemon juice. Place each hollowed-out apple in a muffin cup, with the lids on top, set aside.
In a large heavy pan, heat olive oil. Add onion, garlic and rice.
In a large bowl, mix the ground turkey and dried seasonings together. When onion is translucent, turn the heat down to low and add the ground turkey & almonds. Add a splash of white wine and stir in the fresh herbs, cook for about 2 minutes, just until everything is infused with the herbs. Transfer everything into the bowl.
Stuff the apple "bowls" with the filling, pack it down with a spoon. Place the lids back on top and set the muffin pan on the baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until apples have softened.
Sprinkle each with fresh parsley. Serve hot with some extra filling* and a slice of bread :)
*I should mention that I did cook the extra filling a few minutes longer in the pan, so that the turkey was completely cooked.
