BAKED APPLES WITH BROWN SUGAR



Baked Apples with Brown Sugar image

Great comfort food. Best to make fresh but you can prepare the apples well ahead of time and just refrigerate until ready to bake. They'll brown up a little bit from exposure to air but that won't matter once they're cooked, all bubbly, brown and delicious.

Provided by Dave Lieberman

Categories     dessert

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 Golden Delicious apples
2 to 3 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons light brown sugar
Ground cinnamon, for sprinkling
Creamy Custard Sauce, recipe follows
1/2 pint light vanilla ice cream, melted (recommended: Ben and Jerry's)
2 egg yolks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Wash and dry apples. Cut the apples in half and remove the core but leave any stems intact. Place apples in baking dish. Divide butter among each core cavity. Top each apple half with a tablespoon of sugar and dash with cinnamon.
  • Bake apples until the flesh is tender and they're bubbly and perfect looking, about 30 minutes. Serve with Creamy Custard Sauce.
  • Heat the melted ice cream in a small saucepan over low heat until hot. Meanwhile, put the yolks in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. While whisking, slowly drizzle about 1 or 2 tablespoons hot melted ice cream into the yolks until blended. While whisking constantly, slowly add the rest of the hot liquid to the yolk mixture. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and return to low heat.

Tips for Baking Apples:

  • Choose the right apples: Select firm, tart apples that hold their shape well during baking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Prepare the apples: Core the apples, but leave the skin on for added flavor and nutrients. You can also peel the apples if desired.
  • Add flavorings: To enhance the natural sweetness of the apples, consider adding spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger, as well as sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar.
  • Enhance with toppings: For a delightful crunch, sprinkle oats, nuts, or streusel topping on the apples before baking.
  • Bake until tender: The baking time may vary depending on the type of apples and the desired texture. Generally, bake the apples for 30-45 minutes at 375°F (190°C) or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
