1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2
Begin by scoring very small thin lines around the sides of the apples using a zester, this is to prevent the apple from exploding while cooking.
3
Remove the cores from 1 end, using a melon baller, making sure not to go completely through the apples.
4
To make the mixture, combine the softened butter, sugar, almond powder, and the cinnamon, and mix until all ingredients are combined.
5
Stuff the apples with the butter mixture, and cook for 40 minutes.
6
While the apples are baking, combine the cream, vanilla, and 2 ounces sugar in a saucepot, and bring to a boil.
7
In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks, remaining 2 ounces sugar, and blend until smooth.
8
Once the cream has come to a boil, temper egg yolks with approximately 1/2 of the cream, making sure to whisk constantly.
9
Return the tempered yolks to the cream mixture.
10
Cook the sauce over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
11
Strain the sauce into a container, and then cool in the refrigerator or in an ice-water bath.
12
To serve, plate each warm apple on a dessert plate, and add a drizzle of the cream sauce around and on top of each apple.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
