Preparation for Stuffed Apples with Chocolate and Amaretti

Peel the oranges, cut them into small pieces, place them in a baking dish, and then cook in the microwave or in a pot on the stove with a bit of lemon juice, a piece of apple, and 2 tablespoons of sugar.
Let it cook for about 20 minutes until it thickens a bit. If you prefer, you can skip this step and use ready-made orange marmalade.
Continue the preparation by peeling the apples, removing the cores, placing them in a baking dish, drizzling with lemon juice and some sugar, covering with plastic wrap, and softening the apples in the microwave on high power for 5-7 minutes.
When the orange pulp is ready, pour the dark chocolate into it while still hot, leaving some pieces aside, mix and blend well, add the crumbled amaretti, and continue mixing.
Take the microwaved apples, place them in a baking dish lined with parchment paper, and fill them with the orange, chocolate, and amaretti mixture, filling them well and letting some overflow.
Sprinkle the reserved chopped chocolate on top, then transfer the baking dish to a preheated oven.
Bake the apples in the fan oven at 392°F (200°C) for about 15-18 minutes.
After baking, allow to cool slightly, plate, and serve the apples drizzled with their juice, released during cooking, sprinkle more crumbled amaretti, a sprig of mint, and a generous dusting of powdered sugar.
