Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp hold their shape best during baking.
  • Core the apples carefully: Use an apple corer to remove the core, being careful not to cut through the bottom of the apple.
  • Make the filling ahead of time: The toffee-bourbon-molasses filling can be made up to 2 days in advance.
  • Don't overbake the apples: They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Serve the apples warm or at room temperature: They can be topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

These baked apples are a delicious and easy dessert that can be enjoyed year-round. The toffee-bourbon-molasses filling is rich and flavorful, and the apples are tender and juicy. Serve them warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
