Make
a syrup by dissolving the sugar in the water. Add the lemon
zest, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes to reduce
a little. Remove from the heat and stir in the whisky. Strain,
reserving the lemon zest and syrup separately. Mix together
the walnuts, sultanas, brown sugar and reserved lemon zest.
Pack this mixture into the apples, place in an ovenproof dish
and scatter the remaining mixture around them. Pour the syrup
over. Bake at 160 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes or until tender.
Serve each apple with a little syrup and extra stuffing, and
a good scoop of Mövenpick Maple Walnuts ice cream.
