Description
A wonderful treat served warm with vanilla ice cream —you may double the recipe, and if baking in a larger pan you will need to increase the water, you may also add in about 1/3 cup chopped pecans in with the brown sugar mixture if desired — the best apples to use for baking are rome beauty, golden delicious or jonagold
Ingredients
- Apples
- Brown Sugar
- Cinnamon
- Nutmeg
- Raisins
- Butter
- Boiling Water
Instructions
- Set oven to 350 degrees f
- I prefer to bake the apples on the second-lowest oven rack to prevent the apples from darkening on the bottom if you do so then you might need to increase baking time slightly
- Prepare an 8 x 8-inch baking pan
- Wash and scrub the skins of the apples then dry
- Remove the cores to about 1 / 2 to 3 / 4-inch from the bottom
- In a bowl combine the brown sugar with cinnamon, nutmeg and raisins
- Place the cored apples into the baking pan, then divide / stuff the mixture into each hole of the apples
- Top / dot with 2 teaspoons butter
- Pour the boiling water into the pan
- Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until just fork tender basting the apples with the pan liquid several times during baking
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream
