Baked Apples

Source:https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/baked_apples/

Ingredients

• 4 large good baking apples, such as Rome Beauty, Golden Delicious, or Jonagold
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans, optional
• 1/4 cup currants or chopped raisins
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3/4 cup boiling water

Directions

1. Preheat your oven: 375 deg.F

2. Cut out holes in apples for stuffing:

   Rinse and dry the apples. Using a sharp paring knife or an apple corer, cut out the cores, leaving the bottom 1/2 inch of the apples intact.

   If using a paring knife, first cut out the stem area and then use a small metal spoon to scoop out the seeds. Cut the holes so that they are an inch or so wide.

3. Stuff with brown sugar, cinnamon, and extras, dot with butter:

   Place the brown sugar, cinnamon, currants or chopped raisins, and chopped pecans (if using) in a small bowl and stir to combine.

   Put the apples in a baking dish and stuff each apple with the sugar stuffing mixture. Place a dot of butter (a quarter of the tablespoon called for in the ingredient list) on top of the sugar.

4. Bake:

   Pour the boiling water into the bottom of the baking dish.

   Bake at 375 deg.F for 30 to 45 minutes, until the apples are cooked through and tender, but not overcooked and mushy.

   When done, remove the apples from the oven and baste them with the juices from the pan.

Alternatives

Bill - Delicious! Loved it with raisins and pecans. And I only did 2 apples so I had extra sugar mixture left. I stirred it into the water in the pan before baking, which then became a wonderful syrup for generous basting and for drizzling on the ice cream. Thanks for sharing.

Barbara - I used maple syrup, dried tart red cherries and pecans
