Preheat the oven to 200°c (180 fan/ Gas 4/ 350F) and lightly grease a baking dish with butter.
Using a sharp knife (or apple corer if you have one), cut around the core, about ¾ of the way down into the apple. Use a teaspoon to carefully scoop out the core and seeds. Next, carefully score around the middle of each apple, using a knife, to prevent them from exploding in the oven.

Place the apples in the baking dish and equally distribute the mincemeat into each apple hole.
250 g Mincemeat
Sprinkle one teaspoon of demerara sugar over each apple and top with ½ teaspoon of butter.
6 teaspoon Demerara Sugar, 3 teaspoon Butter
Pour 250ml of water into the bottom of the baking dish, cover with foil and bake in the oven for 40 minutes until the apples are tender. Let them sit for 5 -10 minutes before serving.
