Baked apple with marzipan, pistachios and cardamom

Using a small spoon or pastry spoon, cut a circular hole into the stem of the apples, then hollow out the cores. Immediately sprinkle the insides with squeezed lemon juice to prevent the cut surfaces from browning. In a bowl, mix the marzipan, raisins, almonds, pistachios, apricot jam, cardamom, and rum flavoring and fill the apples with the mixture. Spread a little margarine on the tops. Place the apples on baking paper, roast in the oven at 180°C for 40 minutes, and then serve on plates. Whisk the vanilla sauce with milk or cream and pour over the apples.
