Indulge in the comforting warmth of Delicious Baked Apples, a simple yet satisfying dessert that captures the essence of fall. Begin by choosing firm and slightly tart apples, like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, for a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.
Core the apples, leaving the bottoms intact to create a well for the filling. In a bowl, combine a mixture of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. This aromatic blend becomes the heart of the filling, infusing the apples with a rich, warm flavor.
Fill each cored apple with this delectable mixture, packing it down slightly. Top each apple with a small pat of butter to add a touch of richness. Arrange the apples in a baking dish, and pour a bit of apple juice or cider into the bottom to keep them moist during baking.
Bake until the apples are tender and the filling is bubbly and fragrant. The result is a dessert that showcases the natural sweetness of apples enhanced by the warm embrace of spices.
Serve Delicious Baked Apples warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra touch of indulgence. This straightforward recipe is perfect for a cozy family dessert or as a delightful treat for gatherings, bringing the comforting aroma and flavors of baked apples to your table. Enjoy the simplicity and deliciousness of this classic baked apple dessert, a timeless favorite that never fails to evoke feelings of warmth and home.

I'm not the best cook, but I am very happy with how this turned out!I had 8 medium-sized gala apples that needed to be used up, and they worked perfectly for this dish!I did read the comments before starting, so I followed the advice of some of the other commenters. I used about a 1/4 cup of applesauce and added just enough water to it to make it thinner. I added this instead of the water at the 30-minute mark. I then pulled it out 10 minutes later, stirred it, and added a crumble topping. I put it back in the oven for another 10 minutes until the crumble topping began to brown a little on top. It was supposed to be a dessert for after dinner, but the aroma filled our house and lured the whole family out to the kitchen. Guess I'll have to make another batch!
I could have used more apples, but they were very good. I will try them on ice cream.
Alrighty then Baker-Bees and Chef-Aronis!Here's my 2¢...Definitely pleasanly pleased!Wasn't quite sure with the twists I made!First of all, had just three apples although in an 8x8 Pyrex it made 3 perfect layers. I may do a pear mix in the future.Nextly...I made the approximate same amount of dry topping and glad I did as I don't see how that would have been enough for 6 apples. I would recommend double for 6 apples.Then lacking vanilla suga-duga I substituted 2 tsp of white sugar and driziled a little vanilla ext on each layer as well as lemon juice. I was concerned the nutmeg and cinnamon would be too much although recommended amount was fine. Lastly, after 30 minutes in oven it did seem a bit dry and was concerned 3 12 tbl of water would be to little! As per other comments I thought apple juice would be more advantagous than water but alas I did not have that handy so...Lightbulb! I did have apple sauce and mixed that with water 3 to 1, little over 14 cup. Poured that over the top and mixed it all up! Then covered with foil for another 15 minutes. When I pulled it out it was a bubbling masterpiece! How bout that! Served over vanilla ice cream, whipped topping would also be good! One more idea, I think on top of a waffle would be scrumptious! Yum yum. Thanks for the recipie and Bon apitite!
DELICIOUS! Nothing really fancy, but easy enough to make. I added a little more butter just because I like butter... Next time, I'm going to crumble some graham crackers on top just for some crunch.
This recipe did not turn out well for me. I used some Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples. The whole thing was just over spiced and came out dry and mealy. I was so hoping it was going to turn out well but it did not. Oh well. I'll look for another baked apple recipe.
Looks & tastes great, smells fantastic!Made almost as recipe stated.Used 6 medium-sized Cooking apples (am in UK so they are a thing here). Slightly less cinnamon as Mum not keen on strong cinnamon taste. I'd make it with recommended amount for myself.I adjusted the cooking time & temp as using Halogen Oven - similar to using Fan oven. 160C for 25mins, then put recommended amount of water in & cooked for further 12 mins.Apples very tender and not dry at all. Not anywhere close.Was excellent, especially with good vanilla ice cream. Have made a couple of times, definitely a keeper!
It definitely needed more water or some type of liquid but the spots that weren't dried out were really tasty.
Apple pie, baked apples ECT have never really been a favorite of mine but i had an abundance of red apples that i needed to use up so i gave this a try. Because i was preparing my apples prior to baking, i soaked them in lemon water until ready to assemble my dish. I followed the recipe except i added about a fourth cup of water mixed with a fourth cup of caramel ice cream topping. I buttered an aluminum pan and put in my apples, mixed them up with the dry mix then poured my water caramel mix in and mixed that up. I covered with foil and put it on my grill on low. Stirring occasionally to make sure the bottom wasnt burning. They came out great. Served with some vanilla bean ice cream while they were still warm. I grilled because i happen to already be grilling but this would be great in the oven too.
