Simple Baked Apples: Recipe

6 medium apples
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 TBS fresh lemon juice or zest of 1 lemon
1/8 tsp salt

• Follow the steps above for the Easy Baked Apples, instead of corn syrup this recipe will have you make a syrup first. Mix the all the ingredients together (except for the apples) and bring to a boil. Stir for a minute or two for syrup to thicken then remove from heat and pour evenly over apples (as directed above).
• Bake in the oven for 45 minutes. To hasten cooking time, you can cover the dish with foil while baking (reduces cooking time to 30 minutes).

Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Baked Apples

6 large apples
2/3 cup brown sugar (firm pack)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 TBS butter
1/2 cup apple cider*

• Preheat oven to 350° F.
• Core apples leaving the last 1/2″ of the bottom of apple intact (meaning: do not core all the way through).
• Peel the apple 1/2″ around the top.
• Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together then evenly pack this mixture into the six apples (save a bit for later).
• Place the apples in a shallow baking dish (right side up) then dot with butter. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar and cinnamon across the tops of apples.
• Pour the apple cider into the baking dish.
• Cover with lid or foil and bake until apples are done (about one hour).

*Can also use apple juice or water

Tips

• If the apples aren’t browned after baking, you can set them under the broiler for a couple minutes.
• The best varieties of apples to use for baked apples are those that are firm. A few suggestions: Delicious, Granny Smith, Cortland and Rome Beauty.
• The top part of the apple is peeled to prevent the apple from splitting while it’s baking.
• Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for a nice Fall treat. Can also be refrigerated for about 3 days (then warmed in the microwave).
• Cooking times may vary due to size of apples used, cook until the apples are fork-tender.
