Chef Louie: Stuffed Molasses Apples
From Chef Louie’s Hors(e)d’Oeuvres
Stuffed Molasses Apples
Ingredients:
apples
cup bran
carrot, shredded
• ¾ cup molasses
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup sweet feed
sprigs of carrot top greens
seedless grapes
confectionery sugar
As you would a pumpkin at Halloween, core two apples and remove as much of the center as you can. Set aside.
Mix shredded carrot with bran, molasses, brown sugar and sweet feed in a large bowl. Add more molasses or bran to give mixture a stiff consistency. Scoop mixture out of the bowl and press tightly into cored apples.
Garnish: Drizzle small amount of molasses over the top so it runs down the sides of the apple. Add a sprig of carrot greens, top with a green seedless grape, and sprinkle with confectionary sugar. Serve immediately!
