Baked Apples

My favorite Baked Apples are a simple, elegant dessert filled with a sweet, crunchy filling made with a secret ingredient and baked in the oven until tender. They are fabulous served with a scoop of ice cream on top or on the side!

Ingredients

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts
  • ½ cup cornflakes
  • 2 Tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 large apples golden delicious, honeycrisp, pink lady, and envy are some of our favorites for baking
  • ¾ cup apple juice or water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine brown sugar, walnuts, cornflakes, butter, and cinnamon in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter or fork.
  • Use a small sharp knife and sturdy teaspoon to cut and scoop out the core of each apple. Be careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom or your filling will spill through.
  • Place apples in a baking dish and spoon some of the filling down into the cavity of each apple where the core was. Use your finger or a spoon to press the filling down in, compacting it a bit, and pile more of the filling on top of each apple in a mound.
  • Pour the apple juice or water into the baking dish, then bake for 35 to 45 minutes until the apples are tender and the filling is golden brown.
  • Let cool, then serve warm with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce.
