Place the cherries in a small bowl, pour over the port and set aside to soak for at least 2-3 hours.
-
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
-
Rub the base of a large non-stick baking tray with a little butter.
-
Place the soaked fruit, pistachios, bread, butter, zest, spices and sugar in a food processor and pulse to a roughish paste.
-
Using a sharp knife, make a shallow cut horizontally around the middle of each apple to prevent them from bursting during cooking. Place the cored apples on the baking tray and stuff each one with the filling.
-
Cover the baking tray loosely with foil and bake for 40-50 minutes or until the apples are soft, basting them occasionally with the apple juice. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or thick cream.
