Baked Apples
This old fashioned fall treat is perfect after dinner or at brunch!
Servings
Ingredients
- 4 medium/large baking apples like Granny Smith
- ½ stick 1/4 cup salted butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- pinch of kosher salt
- ¼ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉. Core the apples, but leave the bottoms in tact (I find it easiest to cut the top part out with a small, sharp paring knife and then scoop the rest out with a small cookie scoop or melon baller). Place in an 8x8" baking dish and set aside.
- Combine softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and chopped pecans in a small bowl. Stuff the butter mixture into the cored apples. Cover the bottom of the pan with water and bake for 45-60 minutes or until the apples are soft and the filling is caramelly. Serve immediately (you can serve with ice cream or cream/milk poured on top if you'd like).
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3-4 days for best results.
- Reheat apples in the microwave, covered with a damp paper towel for 60-90 seconds, or until heated through.
