Combining the best of two recipes gave us this delicious fall dessert. I served the stuffed apples in a waffle bowl. Serve warm with ice cream or half-and-half if desired, spooning the sauce from the baking dish over the ice cream.

An apple is filled with a cinnamon cheesecake center. I used a Braeburn apple but any variety will work. Great for a cold night! Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

BAKED STUFFED APPLES



Baked Stuffed Apples image

Provided by Food Network

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup chopped walnuts
4 good-quality red apples such as Fuji, Braeburn, McIntosh, or Rome Beauty
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup apple juice

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly browned and fragrant, about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Working from the stem end, use a melon baller to remove the core from each apple, scooping out the stem and seeds making a deep hole for filling: work to within about 1/2-inch of the bottom of the apple. (Alternatively, remove the core with an apple corer and widen the hole with a small spoon.) Peel the skin from the top half of each apple. In a small bowl, blend together the brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. Mix in the walnuts. Spoon equal amounts of the filling into the centers of the apples. Set the filled apples in an 8-inch square baking pan or other baking pan just large enough to hold them snugly. In a small pan over medium heat, warm the honey with apple juice, stirring until the honey dissolves. Pour around the apples. Spoon some of the liquid over the sides of the apples to moisten them, but do not spoon over the tops. Bake, basting the sides once or twice with the pan juices, until the apples are tender when pierced, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool, and serve in bowls with the pan juices spooned over the tops.

SALT-BAKED STUFFED APPLES



Salt-Baked Stuffed Apples image

A potent balance of savory and sweet, a salt-baked apple stuffed with dried fruits, nuts, and spices and served on toast with pungent cheese makes a satisfying winter snack.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lemon, halved
6 small firm baking apples (about 1 1/2 pounds), such as Empire or Cortland
1/3 cup (1 ounce) chopped walnuts
1/4 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger
1/2 cup dried apricots, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pound coarse salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Squeeze lemon juice into a medium bowl filled with cold water. Using a sharp knife, remove stem from each apple. Using a melon baller, remove cores and hollow out apples until walls are about 3/4 inch thick. Place apples in water.
  • Place walnuts on a baking pan; toast until fragrant and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Let the walnuts cool, and roughly chop.
  • Place walnuts, cranberries, ginger, apricots, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl.
  • Drain apples; spoon walnut filling into each cavity, packing fairly tightly. Place apples in a baking dish just large enough to hold them all. Add salt, being careful not to get any salt in the filling; fill until the salt covers the apples up to where the filling begins. Cover with a sheet of aluminum foil.
  • Bake until apples are tender and start to pull away from salt, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly. Remove apples from salt; serve.

BAKED STUFFED APPLES



Baked Stuffed Apples image

A classic apple dessert becomes a sophisticated Halloween treat with a meringue topping and a spiderweb of sweet creme anglaise. The recipe comes from "Martha's Entertaining."

Provided by Martha Stewart

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 oranges, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 cup raisins, chopped
1/4 cup Cognac or other brandy
1/3 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup coarsely chopped shelled pistachios
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground mace
8 apples (about 3 pounds), preferably Northern Spy
Swiss Meringue
Creme Angalise, with chocolate variation

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir together both zests, orange juice, raisins, and Cognac; cover, and let stand at room temperature 8 hours, or up to 1 day.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with a rack in the center. Stir nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and mace into raisin mixture. With a small melon baller, core apples, starting at stem end and leaving blossom end intact. Stand cored apples on a baking sheet lined with a nonstick baking mat, and fill each one with raisin mixture, dividing evenly. Bake until base of an apple is tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 25 to 45 minutes, depending on size and variety. Cool apples on baking sheet on a wire rack.
  • Fit a large pastry bag with an open-star tip (such as #18) and fill with Swiss meringue. Pipe a rosette on top of each apple. Using a small kitchen torch, carefully brown edges of the meringue. (Alternatively, place meringue-topped apples under the broiler until golden, 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.)
  • Spoon about 3 tablespoons creme anglaise onto each of 8 dessert plates. Transfer chocolate creme anglaise to a small pastry bag fitted with a plain fine tip (or place in a small sturdy plastic bag and snip off corner). Starting at the outside and working toward the center of the plate, pipe a spiral pattern, leaving about 1/4 inch between each curved line. To create the spider-web design, drag the tip of a sharp knife in radiating lines through the chocolate spiral, working from the center of the plate out, and spacing about 1/2 inch apart. Place a meringue-topped apple in the center of each plate, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For a crispier topping, use a mixture of brown sugar and oats.
  • Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have any chopped nuts on hand, you can use granola or bread crumbs instead.
  • To make the apples easier to stuff, use a melon baller to scoop out the cores.
  • If you're short on time, you can microwave the apples for 2-3 minutes before baking to soften them up.

Conclusion:

Baked stuffed apples are a delicious and easy dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and satisfying treat that's perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give baked stuffed apples a try!
