Step by step recipe

• 1: Preheat oven to 180°C or 356°F.
  Butter a dish with 1 knob butter.
• 2: Choose 12 apples that are a bit acidic and sharp like "reinettes", Peel them and discard core.
  Arrange close together in the dish.
• 3: Put 2 small pieces of butter on each apple.
• 4: Pour one or two tablespoons of maple syrup over each apple .
• 5: If you like it (like me), you can put a little more maple syrup directly in the bottom of the dish too, it's impossible to put too much maple syrup...
• 6: If you have used an apple-peeler, you can push a toothpick through each apple to hold it together.
  Put the dish in the oven.
• 7: Let the apples cook until they are soft (about 30 minutes).
  If possible during cooking pour the juice from the bottom of the plate over the apples with a spoon.
  Remove toothpicks if used and enjoy!
  You can serve this dessert with a tablespoon of "crème chantilly" (whipped cream) - pure delight!

Remarks

If your apples are a bit too sweet, you can add a dash of lemon juice before putting in the oven.
