Knobs of butter
Drizzles of verjuice (or grape vinegar)
Cinnamon sticks
2-4 tbs of thick brown sugar, demerara preferably
1 pot of Creme Fraiche

Directions
Core apples or pears and cut in half
Place in an ovenproof dish to fit snugly
Finely grate fresh ginger and liberally sprinkle over the fruit, and then the sugar.
Drizzle verjuice over the fruit to coat the bottom of the dish
Place a knob of butter on each piece of fruit and throw some cinnamon sticks into the dish
Oven bake until cooked and caramelised – about 30 minutes depending on the size of your fruits. Smaller will take less.
