Divide the butter into 4 equal pieces then stuff into each apple, pressing down with your fingers to pack tightly. Spoon in the remaining dried fruit mixture.
Step 4
Add 300ml cold water to the cooking pot then insert the reversible rack.

Close the lid and move the slider to the middle position. Select STEAM BAKE, set temperature to 105°C, and set time to 5 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin, (this will STEAM for approximately 20 minutes before switching to STEAM BAKE).

Once baking is complete slide the slider to the far right, open the lid and baste the apples with their juices. Close the lid.
Step 7

The skin can also be removed and apples and stuffing blended together for an instant apple sauce!
If cooking apples are too sour for your liking use 6 regular apples instead.
