Ingredients
 

  • 4 large apples (*see note)
  • 4 tablespoon butter (½ stick, softened)
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans (optional, or walnuts)
  • ¼ cup raisins (optional)

Instructions
 

  • To get started, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Wash your apples thoroughly and cut off the stem end of the apple. Then, cut or scoop out the core, making sure to leave the bottom ½-inch intact in order to contain the filling.
  • In a small bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and optional pecans and raisins, if using. Stir to evenly distribute all of the ingredients.
  • Take a scoop of the mixture and press it into the cavity of the apples. Place the top of the apples back on top, over the filling.
  • Pour your water into a baking dish and then set the apples, upright, inside the dish.
  • Bake the apples at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes - 1 hour, or until the apples are soft and the filling has browned.
  • Once cooked, remove them from the oven and baste them with the juices from the baking dish. Enjoy while warm.

Notes

  • Make sure to choose an apple variety that is great for baking! This ensures that the apple will hold its shape and not fall apart in the oven. I like to use Honeycrisp, Rome Beauty, Granny Smith, Braeburn, Jonagold, or Winesap!
  • If you are short on time, these tasty apples can be made in the microwave! Simply microwave them on high for 5-8 minutes.
  • To store: Place your baked apples into an airtight container and place them in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
  • To reheat: Microwave in short 30-second increments until heated thoroughly.
