Ingredients
  • 6 Apricots
  • 1 Apple (preferably coxes)
  • 0.5 small Pineapple
  • 200 ml Apple, mango, or orange juice
  • 4 Squares of foil (23 cm / 9 inch)
  • 4 Squares of greaseproof paper
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 180&# 194;°C (350ðF / Gas Mark 4).
  2. 2

  3. 3
    Cut the apple in half, remove the core, and cut each half into six wedges.
  4. 4
    Halve the apricots and remove the stones.
  5. 5
    Place a square of greaseproof paper on top of a 23 cm square of aluminum foil.
  6. 6

  7. 7
    Pour the fruit juice evenly over the fruit in each parcel.
  8. 8
    Fold the foil over the fruit to create a sealed packet, crimping the edges tightly to prevent steam from escaping.
  9. 9

  10. 10
    Carefully open the hot parcels, allowing steam to escape, and serve warm directly from the foil.

Note

For a special occasion, substitute 15 ml (1 tbsp) of the fruit juice with Calvados or brandy for a deeper, richer flavor.

Ensure the foil packets are sealed tightly to steam the fruit in its own juices, keeping it moist and tender.

Cox's apples are recommended for their balance of sweetness and acidity, but any firm cooking apple will work.

Be careful when opening the parcels as hot steam will escape.
