Baked Apples
Baked apples are a toothsome, sweet Estonian treat. These slow-cooked apples are a perfect winter snack, and a warming way to eat one of the few fruits that can be kept through a long, cold season. Baked apples taste best when topped with vanilla ice cream!
Recipe Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 large apples, washed
- 4 Tbsp (60 g) butter, softened
- ½ cup (90 g) brown sugar
- ¾ tsp (4 ml) cinnamon
- ¾ cup (180 ml) water
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Leaving enough of the core at the apple's base to keep the filling from falling through the hole, remove most of the core from the apples.
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Roll the mixture into log shapes and press them into the cored apples, completely filling each.
- In a large baking dish, add the water, adding more if needed so there's enough to cover the bottom.
- Place the apples upright in the dish and bake for one hour, until the fruit is soft and the filling has turned golden brown.
Notes
For a nuttier spice blend, use ¼ teaspoon (1 ml) nutmeg in the filling mixture.
