Preparing the apples:

  1. Slice off the top third of the 4 apples, then trim the bases so that the apples stand up straight. Using a dessert spoon, scoop out the flesh leaving an outer shell 5-7mm/ ¼ inch thick.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the sugar and add a dash of Calvados and lemon juice.
  3. Brush the insides of the prepared apples, then wrap the apples in cling film and refrigerate.

Making the soufflé, filling the apples:

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together 2 egg yolks and 25g sugar until a pale straw colour and set aside.
  3. Beat the egg whites to a light peak, then add 25g sugar and a squeeze of lemon and beat until firm. Add 1 tbsp of Calvados to the egg yolk mixture then briskly whisk in a quarter of the egg whites. Fold in the remainder.
  4. Remove the cling film from the apples and fill with the soufflé mixture. Re-create the original shape of the apples by over filling and smoothing the tops into dome shapes.
  5. Dust with icing sugar.
  6. Stand the apples on a lightly buttered tray and bake for 10-12 mins.
  7. Remove from oven and place on a plate. Voilà!
