Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) plus 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup dark rum
1/4 cup apple juice
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
2 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon whipping cream
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoons all purpose flour
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 cup almonds, toasted, finely chopped
6 pitted dates, chopped
4 large Golden Delicious apples (about 2 pounds)
Additional melted butter
Whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix 1/4 cup butter, rum and juice in 8 x 8 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Mix sugar, egg yolks, 1 tablespoon cream, ginger, flour, lemon peel and 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in small bowl until smooth. Mix in almonds and dates.
  • Using melon baller, scoop out stem end and entire core of apples, being careful to leave bottom intact. Using vegetable peeler, remove 1-inch-wide strip of peel from around top of cavity. Pack cavities to top with almond mixture. Arrange apples in prepared dish. Brush exposed apple surfaces with additional melted butter.
  • Bake until tester inserted into apple meets little resistance, brushing occasionally with juices and covering loosely with foil if filling is browning too quickly, about 45 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream.

These baked apples are a delicious and healthy dessert. The apples are naturally sweet and the dates and almonds add a nice touch of sweetness and crunch. The rum gives them a subtle boozy flavor.

These baked apples were easy to make and turned out great! I used honey instead of rum and they were still delicious. The apples were soft and the filling was sweet and gooey. I served them with a dollop of whipped cream and they were perfect.
