Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix together 50g dried breadcrumbs, 8 chopped dried apricots, 75g sugar mixed with 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 75g chopped butter and the zest of 1 orange. Using an apple corer, remove the centre of 6 large Bramley apples, then score the skin around the equator so they don’t collapse during roasting. Pack the filling into the apples, then sit them snugly in an ovenproof dish. Mix together the juice of 1 orange with 150ml water and pour around the apples. Roast for 40-50 mins until browned and soft, and just holding their shape. Serve with the pan juices and custard or ice cream.
