Catalan Stuffed Apples

Ingredients

• 12 apples
• 100 g ground pork
• 100 g ground veal
• 200 g almonds
• 100 g raisins
• rum, to mix with the raisins
• 2 eggs
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 2 lemons
• flour
• 200 g sugar
• oil (for frying)

Directions

1. 1

   I sometimes add genjibre to the mixture, but I couldn't include it in the ingredients.

2. 2

   Mix rum with the raisins. I tend to leave them soaking overnight.

3. 3

   Wash and empty apples. Mix the minced pork and veal with the eggs, almonds and raising. Add grated rind of 1 lemon and add the genjibre.

4. 4

   Mix together and fill up apples with the mixture. Sprinkle flour over the top and gently fry in a little oil. Make sure you don't spill it.

5. 5

   Place apples in an ovenproof dish (or a clay one is better).

6. 6

   Prepare a caramel with the sugar and add some more lemon rind, grated, and the cinnamon sticks.

7. 7

   Cover half with water and cook slowly until done.
