Method:

1. Using a sharp knife, make a circular cut around the waist of each apple, to prevent the skin from bursting.

2. Arrange the apples in a buttered shallow ovenproof dish. Mix the sultanas and sugar in a bowl; spoon into the cavities in the apples. Top each with a piece of butter.

3. Heat the orange juice and golden syrup in a small saucepan until the syrup has melted, then spoon over the apples in the dish.

4. Cook in a preheated oven, 190°C (375°F) Gas Mark 5, basting with the orange mixture occasionally, for 50 minutes or until the apples are tender.

5. Serve hot with custard, cream or ice cream.
