Classic Baked Apples Recipe
Ingredients:
- 6 large Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 2 tbsp raisins or dried cranberries
- 1 cup apple juice or water
- Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Apples: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash and core the apples, leaving about 1/2 inch at the bottom to create a well. Use a melon baller or small spoon to carefully remove the core without breaking through the bottom.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine brown sugar, oats, softened butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, chopped nuts, and dried fruit. Mix until the ingredients form a crumbly texture.
- Stuff the Apples: Place the cored apples in a baking dish. Fill each apple cavity with the brown sugar mixture, packing it gently but firmly.
- Add Liquid: Pour apple juice or water into the bottom of the baking dish, creating about 1/4 inch of liquid around the apples. This prevents sticking and creates steam for tender cooking.
- Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30-40 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 10-15 minutes until apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the tops are golden brown.
- Serve: Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle with the pan juices and serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.
