BAKED APPLES WITH BROWN SUGAR

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.

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.

8 large Golden Delicious apples
1/2 cup (packed) dark brown sugar

6 tablespoons pure maple syrup
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h45m

Yield 6-8 apples, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons raisins
1/4 cup brown sugar
6 -8 medium baking apples, cored, but left whole, and unpeeled
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Mix raisins and brown sugar together in a small bowl.
  • Stand apples upright on bottom of slow cooker, and spoon raisin-brown sugar mixture into centers of apples, dividing evenly.
  • Sprinkle stuffed apples with cinnamon, and dot with butter.
  • Add water along edge of slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on low 3-5 hours, or on high 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 hours, or until apples are tender, but not collapsing.
  • Serve warm as is, or with ice cream, or frozen yogurt.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, tart apples that will hold their shape during baking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Use a sharp knife to peel and core the apples to ensure a clean cut.
  • Be careful not to overfill the apples with the brown sugar mixture, as it will bubble up during baking.
  • If you want a crispier topping, increase the amount of oats in the topping mixture.
  • Serve the apples warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a special treat.

Conclusion:

Brown sugar baked apples are a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With their tender, juicy apples and sweet, crunchy topping, these apples are the perfect way to end a meal or enjoy as a snack.
