Provided by Nikki Cervone

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 apples (any variety)
1/3 cup walnuts
1/3 cup pecans
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup dried cherries
1/4 cup dried apricots
1/2 cup brown sugar (divided in half)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into 6 pieces)
1 cup apple cider

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a large baking pan with raised sides with cooking spray.
  • Cut a thin slice from the bottom of each apple so they will stand up straight in the pan. Slice the tops. Using a corer or a melon baller, remove the center and the seeds from the fruit. Carefully remove most of the flesh to create a "bowl," leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh around the sides and bottom. Avoid creating a hole at the bottom, or breaking the apple.
  • Place the apples in the prepared baking pan.
  • In a food processor, combine the nuts, dried fruit, 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and sea salt. Pulse until roughly minced.
  • Stuff each apple with the mixture, letting it overflow slightly outside of the apple for a rustic look.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cider and the other 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Mix until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the liquid over each apple. Pour the remaining liquid in the pan.
  • Top each apple with a slice of butter. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Place the apples in bowls and pour any extra sauce over them. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream, and a dash of cinnamon.

BAKED APPLES



Baked Apples image

I don't remember my mother at the stove. When asked what childhood dish was my favorite, I'd stammer and come up empty. And then, walking down the stairs in my Paris apartment, I got to the third floor and said out loud to no one: baked apples! My mother made baked apples. Her apples were big Cortlands or Rome Beauties, and she cored and stuffed them with raisins, because my father loved raisins. I also bake with Cortlands or Romes when I can get them, Fujis or Galas when I can't. I'll often stuff them with raisins, but I think they're especially nice filled with bits of dried apple and candied ginger. And I like to baste them with apple cider and honey. They're good hot or cold, but best served warm and topped with something creamy. Cinnamon (my mom always used too much) is optional.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large baking apples, like Rome Beauty
2 lemon wedges
2 to 3 dried apple rings, cut into bits
4 tiny pieces crystallized ginger (optional)
3 to 4 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup/240 milliliters apple cider or juice
Heavy cream, whipped cream or ice cream, for serving (optional)
Cinnamon, for dusting (optional)

Steps:

  • Center a rack in the oven and heat to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, and set a 9- or 10-inch glass pie dish on top.
  • Cut a small cap off the top of each apple, and set aside. Using a paring knife or corer, core the apples, making sure not to go all the way to the bottom. Cut away and reserve about 1/2 inch of peel around the tops of the apples. Rub the peeled portions of the apples with the lemon, squeezing a little juice into each opening.
  • Fill each apple with an equal amount of dried apple and ginger, if using, pressing down lightly as needed to push bits into the opening. Pour 1/2 teaspoon honey over the dried fruit in each apple. Cut the butter into 4 pieces, and top each apple with a pat. Pop the caps back on the apples. (It's O.K. if they teeter). Transfer the apples, lemon wedges and a few of the reserved peels into the pie dish; pour in the cider or juice, and stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons honey. (The honey won't blend evenly into the cider, and that's fine.)
  • Bake the apples, basting occasionally with the cider and honey, until you can poke them with a skewer or the tip of a knife and not meet much resistance, 50 to 70 minutes. Since apples are so variable, check early and often, as you might need more or less time.
  • Let them cool for at least 15 minutes before serving moistened with a little pan sauce, and if you want, top with cold heavy cream, whipped cream or ice cream and dust with cinnamon. The apples are good warm or at room temperature. They'll keep, covered, for 2 days in the refrigerator and can be reheated in a microwave.

BAKED APPLES (POMMES BONNE FEMME)



Baked Apples (Pommes Bonne Femme) image

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fit apples snugly in a medium oval baking dish (apples should not tip over).
