- Peel the bottom half of each apple.

- With a whisk, stir in the butter until the butter is melted into the sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sauce is smooth.
- Pour the sauce into the baking dish to cover the bottom. Put the apples in the baking dish with the peeled side down and pour the caramel into the hollowed-out centers. Cover the remainder of the apples with caramel sauce.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 30 minutes. Using a pair of tongs or two spoons, gently turn the apples over and continue baking, basting two or three times, until the apples are tender, about 15 more minutes.

BAKED APPLES WITH CARAMEL SAUCE
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.
