BAKED APPLES FILLED WITH DATES AND PECANS



Baked Apples Filled with Dates and Pecans image

When I told my friend about this baked apple dish, he said it reminded him of an old folk recipe. When he was little and had an upset tummy, his Russian grandmother would cut up an apple and leave it out on the counter for a few minutes, until it began to brown. His grandmother would then say, "Come eat, tatellah" (an affectionate way of saying, "little man" in Yiddish). Lo and behold, a few minutes later his stomach felt better. He always figured it was love at work (and, of course, it was), but years later he found out there was also some science involved: As they brown-or cook, in this case-apples release pectin, which naturally soothes the belly. Baking makes the pectin and the rest of the apple easier to digest. In this recipe, the apples are complemented by a whole host of tasty morsels and spices-toasted pecans, dates, orange zest, and cinnamon-and as they bake, they smell heavenly.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup finely chopped toasted pecans (see page 97)
1/4 cup pitted and finely diced Medjool dates
Zest and juice of 1 orange
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
4 baking apples, such as Pink Lady, Pippin, or Mcintosh
1 tablespoon organic butter (optional)
Unfiltered apple juice, for baking

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Combine the pecans, dates, orange zest and juice, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl and stir to combine.
  • Core the apples, leaving half an inch at the bottom, and peel the top edges. Stuff the apples with the pecan filling, then dot the butter on top or melt the butter and brush it on the apple tops.
  • Put the apples in a baking pan, pour in about 1 inch of apple juice, and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, until the apples are tender but not mushy. Test for doneness by poking a fork into the apples; they should be tender and yield easily to pressure.
  • Serve warm, drizzled with the warm apple juice from the baking pan.
  • If you don't have dates or pecans, be creative! You can substitute currants or raisins and walnuts or almonds, and if nuts are a problem, you can simply omit them. You can use clarified butter if you like, or for a dairy-free version use coconut oil.
  • Use a melon baller to scoop out the apple core; it's important to keep the base intact.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.

Pack cavities to top with almond mixture. Arrange apples in prepared dish. Brush exposed apple surfaces with additional melted butter.

Tips for Making Date-Filled Baked Apples

  • Choose the right apples. Use firm, tart apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Core the apples carefully. Use a sharp knife to core the apples, leaving the bottom intact. Be careful not to cut through the bottom of the apples.
  • Stuff the apples with dates. Fill the cored apples with chopped dates. You can also add other fillings, such as nuts, raisins, or cranberries.
  • Bake the apples until they are tender. Bake the apples in a preheated oven until they are tender and the skins are wrinkled. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
  • Serve the apples warm or cold. Date-filled baked apples can be served warm or cold. They are delicious on their own or topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or yogurt.
