Baked apples

19 Jun

Baked apples are an underrated dessert in my opinion. They take minutes to prep, are can be served hot or cold, and are healthy to boot. A splash of liqueur (hazelnut works well) before baking, or serving (or both) is a nice touch.

Baked apples

  • 1 small cooking apple per person
  • 1 tsp brown sugar per apple
  • ½ tsp butter per apple
  • raisins to fill each apple
  1. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Core the apples, leaving a bit at the bottom if possible.
  2. Score a line in the skin of the apple around the middle.
  3. Stuff the apples with raisins. Top with brown sugar and butter.
  4. Place in an ovenproof dish that holds the apples snugly. Add a centimetre of water to the dish. Bake 30 minutes, or until apples are soft.
  5. Serve with vanilla ice cream or cream.
