Baked Apples
Description
These baked apples with brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon are very simple to make and delicious topped with vanilla ice cream for a cozy fall dessert.
Ingredients
•
4 tart green apples
•
1/2 cup brown sugar
•
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
•
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
•
4 tablespoons butter
Directions
1
Gather all ingredients, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Using an apple corer, a melon baller, or a teaspoon, remove core from the top of each apple, making sure not to go all the way to the bottom, leaving about 1 ½ inches from the bottom of the apple.
3
Stir sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a small bowl until evenly combined. Stuff each apple with 2 tablespoons brown sugar mixture.
4
Place apples in an 8-inch square baking dish. Top each apple with 1 piece of butter; pour boiling water to a depth of 1/4-inch in the bottom of the dish. Cover with foil.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake, uncovered, until sugar begins to caramelize and apples are tender when pierced with a paring knife, 20 to 25 minutes more.
6
Serve warm. Enjoy!
