Preparation of the Apples
Wash and core the apples, but do not peel them. Fill them with the almond cream and bake for 1 1/2 h at 120°C (thermostat 4).
Preparation of the Almond cream
Blend all the ingredients together and use to stuff the apples.
Preparation of the Ice Cream
Bring the milk and the sugar to the boil and add the cream. Pour the boiling mixture onto the egg yolks in a separate bowl and blend thoroughly as when preparing a custard. Blend in the powdered almonds and allow to cool. When the mixture is cold, pour into an electric sherbet maker and prepare in the normal manner.
Preparation of the apple Sauce
Blend all the ingredients in a mixer and pass through a sieve.
Presentation
Decorate the apple with the arrow. This is most easily done by breaking the arrow in two and inserting one half on either side of the apple so that it appears to have been transpierced by the arrow. Surround the apple with the sauce and serve the ice cream on an almond slice.
