Baked apples fill the kitchen with the most beautiful scent. Recently an old friend who is trying to sell his home told me that he was considering making an apple crumble before people came to view it; he had heard that the smell of baked comforts can help. I told him these baked apples would work just as well. The jamminess of the dates stuffed inside the fruit brings a welcome bit of texture, and you can scoop it up with the melted ice-cream that gathers in the bottom of your bowl.
