Perfect Baked Apples

Here’s a visual treat to accompany our scrumptious recipe. Just look at these beautifully baked apples!

Perfect Baked Apples ### Ingredients

4 medium-sized apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans)
2 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup water
Optional: raisins or dried cranberries for added sweetness

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your apples bake evenly and come out perfectly tender.
Core the apples carefully, making sure to leave the bottom intact to hold all the tasty filling. You can use an apple corer or a small knife for this step.
In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, rolled oats, cinnamon, and chopped nuts. If you’re using raisins or dried cranberries, toss them in as well for an extra burst of flavor.
Stuff each apple generously with the mixture. Press down gently to pack it in.
Place the apples in a baking dish and scatter the small pieces of butter on top of the stuffed apples. Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish to keep the apples moist as they bake.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is bubbly.
Once they’re done, allow the baked apples to cool slightly before serving. They pair wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!

So there you have it! A simple yet delightful recipe for baked apples that can easily become a staple in your autumn dessert rotation. Enjoy the aromatic sweetness and warmth these baked apples bring to your home this season!
