Oven-baked Toffee Apples(Ahjus küpsetatud õunad mandli-iirisekattega)

i am a big fan of these estonian desserts using potato flour.. and of the looks of these scrumptious apples...mmmm :)

FROM NAMI-NAMI (Nami-Nami.blogspot.com)
(makes 4-6 servings)

5-6 large firm apples
TOFFEE-ALMOND TOPPING:
50g almond slices
50g unsalted butter
200ml soft brown sugar
100ml whipping or double cream
1tbsp potato flour
Directions:
1) Pre-heat oven to 200 C / 400 F
2)Peel the apples (optional*), halve & core them. Fit them snugly into a buttered oven-dish, cut-side down.
3)Mix brown sugar & potato flour in a small saucepan, add butter, almond slices, & cream, & bring slowly to the boil, stirring regularly.
4) Spoon the toffee mixture onto the apples.
5) Bake in the middle of oven for 20-30min (cooking time depends on the apples), until apples are cooked & toffee topping has thickened.
6) Cool a little & serve with ice cream.

**NOTES: In general, I tend not to peel apples from my mum's or grandma's garden, or apples from a reputable organic source. However, peeling apples beforehand makes for neater presentation and easier eating afterwards.
