Sweet Apples in the Oven image

A simple and homey dessert that is always satisfying as well as guilt-free. In Belgium, a baked apple is a traditional accompaniment to many pork and game dishes. But if you feel extravagant, you can transform the simple baked apples into a special dessert by serving them with Creme Anglaise (see recipe I posted). From Everybody Eats Well in Belgium.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 firm apples (such as Mutsu, McIntosh, or Granny Smith)
4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pinch ground cinnamon or 1 pinch ginger (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Butter a gratin dish just large enough to hold the apples.
  • Using a sharp knife or an apple corer, core each apple without cutting all the way through to the bottom.
  • Arrange the apples in the buttered gratin dish and fill each one with 1 TBS sugar and 1 TBS butter.
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon if using.
  • Add a little water, to make a thin layer, to the bottom of the dish.
  • Bake until the apples are soft but still hold their shape, 30-35 minutes.
  • Serve warm or lukewarm.
  • Variations:* Soak 2 TBS raisins or surrants in 2 TBS dark rum or Cognace.
  • Spoon these into the apples along with the sugar and butter before baking.
  • *Chop a small handful of unsalted nuts and add to the butter and sugar filling.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my apples didn't caramelize. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These apples were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time.

These apples are a great way to use up leftover apples. I had a few apples that were starting to go bad, and this recipe was the perfect way to use them up.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The apples are always perfectly cooked, and the cinnamon and sugar coating is just the right amount of sweetness.

These apples were a hit! They caramelized beautifully and had a wonderful depth of flavor. I served them with vanilla ice cream, and they were absolutely divine.
