Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 Tablespoons (43g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature (extra soft, so it's easy to mash)
1/4 cup (50g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup (20g) old-fashioned whole rolled oats
4 large apples (see note), rinsed and patted dry
optional: 2 Tablespoons raisins, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts
3/4 cup (180ml) warm water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C).
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, or simply using a fork or spoon, beat/mash the butter, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together until combined. Stir in the oats, then the raisins/dried cranberries/nuts, if using. Set aside.
  • This can be tricky, but I recommend using a sharp paring knife and a spoon. (Or an apple corer.) I find cookie scoops can easily break or crack the apples. Using a sharp paring knife, cut around the core, about halfway or 3/4 down into the apple. Use a spoon to carefully dig out the core. Takes a bit of patience and arm muscle. Once the core is out, use a spoon to dig out any more seeds.
  • Place cored apples in an 8-inch or 9-inch baking pan, cake pan, or pie dish. Spoon filling into each apple, filling all the way to the top. Pour warm water into the pan around the apples. The water helps prevent the apples from drying out and burning.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until apples appear slightly soft. Bake longer for softer, mushier baked apples. The time depends on how firm your apples were and how soft you want them to be.
  • Remove apples from the oven and, if desired, baste the outside of the apples with juices from the pan. This adds a little moisture to the skin, but it's completely optional.
  • Serve warm with salted caramel, whipped cream, or ice cream. Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For this recipe, it's best to use firm, tart apples that will hold their shape during baking. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples are all good choices.
  • Use fresh black cherries: If you can, use fresh black cherries for the best flavor. If fresh cherries are not available, you can use frozen or canned cherries, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Don't overcook the apples: The apples should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Serve warm or cold: Black cherry baked apples can be served warm or cold. If you're serving them cold, be sure to chill them for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Black cherry baked apples are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up any leftover black cherries. With their sweet and tart flavor, these apples are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
