Using a special tool (apple corer), remove the core and seeds from the center of each apple. (You can also use a small knife, but be cautious). (photo 3)

Pour the wine and orange juice into the baking dish, add the star anise, and place a small piece of butter on top. (photo 5)

Bake at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven and transfer the apples to a serving platter.

Take the remaining liquid from the baking dish and pour it into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil and simmer until it thickens. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
