Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 medium baking apples, such as Boskop, Braeburn, Fuji, or Gala
4 to 6 dried figs
1/4 cup chopped almonds, toasted
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon heavy cream or creme fraiche
Juice of 1 lemon
Serving suggestion: cinnamon whipped cream or creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Core the apples. Using a paring knife, score a ring around the midriff of each apple, just cutting through the skin to prevent the apples from bursting during baking. Stuff the apples with the figs and almonds. Set on a baking sheet, and bake until puffed up and soft all the way through, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the sugar in a saucepan with a spoonful of water, and boil to a golden caramel, about 5 minutes, depending on how much water you've added. Do not stir the sugar with a spoon, gently swirl the saucepan over the heat until the desired color. You want a nice rich caramel color, but don't let it get too dark.
  • Serve the baked apples warm from the oven with the sauce poured over and with a generous slump of cinnamon whipped cream or creme fraiche on the side.

BAKED APPLES WITH CARAMEL SAUCE



Baked Apples With Caramel Sauce image

So good, especially in the autumn time. You could also use red and golden pears, just cook them 10 minutes longer.

Provided by KittyKitty

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 granny smith apples, cored but not peeled
3 Red Delicious apples, cored but not peeled
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup walnut pieces
1/4 cup golden raisin
1/4 cup butter, diced
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F Grease a baking pan just large enough to hold the apples.
  • With a small knife, cut at an angle to enlarge the core opening at the stem end of each apple to about 1 inch diameter. (The opening should look like a funnel shape.).
  • Arrange the apples in the prepared pan, stem end up.
  • In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup water with brown sugar, nutmeg and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring. Boil for 6 minutes.
  • Combine the walnuts and raisins. Spoon some of the walnut/raisin mixture into opening of each apple.
  • Top each apple with some of the diced butter.
  • Spoon the brown sugar sauce over and around the apples. Bake, basting occasionally with the sauce, until the apples are just tender, 45-50 minutes. Transfer the apples to a serving dish, reserving the brown sugar sauce in the baking pan. Keep the apples warm.
  • For the caramel sauce, mix the butter, cream and reserved brown sugar sauce in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Let the sauce cool slightly before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
  • Prepare the apples properly: Core and peel the apples, then cut them into uniform slices or wedges. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of dried cherries: You can use tart or sweet dried cherries, or a combination of both. If using tart cherries, you may want to add a little extra sugar to the filling.
  • Make the maple caramel sauce ahead of time: The sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. When ready to use, reheat the sauce over low heat until warmed through.
  • Don't overcook the apples: The apples should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked apples will become mushy and lose their flavor.

Conclusion:

Baked apples with dried cherries and maple caramel sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The apples are tender and flavorful, the cherries add a tart sweetness, and the maple caramel sauce is rich and decadent. This dessert is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
