Ingredients
- 4 apples
- sugar
- star anise
- cinnamon stick
- cloves
- lemon
FOR THE APPLE STOCK
Peel apples and core them. Collect the cores and peels in a saucepan with 1/2 liter of water, 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.
You do boil gently for 20 minutes, turn off and filter. Reduce the apple broth by at least half and let it cool.
FOR BAKED APPLES
Cut the apples cleaned into quarters and arrange them in a pan large enough to contain them without overlapping. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, 2 anise stars, 4 cloves, a piece of cinnamon stick and 4 tablespoons of water. Cover with a lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking.
Serve them with the broth.
