Estonia 
Baked apples are a toothsome, sweet Estonian treat. These sweetened, slow-cooked apples are a perfect winter snack, 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!

Ingredients
- 4 large apples
- 4 Tbsp (60 g) butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (90 g) brown sugar
- 3/4 tsp (4 ml) cinnamon
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) water
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the apples by washing and coring them. Leave enough of the core at the apple's base to keep the filling from falling through the hole.
- 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, put 3/4 cup (180 ml) of water, or enough to cover the bottom. Place the apples upright in the dish and bake for 1 hour, until the fruit is soft and the filling has turned golden brown.
Notes
For a “nuttier” spice blend, use 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) nutmeg in the filling mixture.Recipe introduction and directions © Copyright 2016-2024 World Trade Press. All rights reserved.
