CANDY BAKED APPLES



Candy Baked Apples image

Make and share this Candy Baked Apples recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Redsie

Categories     Apple

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 apples
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup sliced blanched almond
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup semi-salted butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • In a bowl, combine all the ingredients except the apples. Set aside.
  • Slice a thin layer off the top of each apple. Using a melon baller, dig out the core, leaving the bottom intact. Make a horizontal cut through the peel around each apple so the fruit doesn't burst when baking.
  • Place the apples on a 33 x 23-cm (13 x 9-inch) baking dish. Divide the oat mixture among the apples, spooning it into the hollows and mounding it on the tops. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the oat mixture is lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Cool to room temperature. Serve as is or with vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, tart apples: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn are good options.
  • Use a sharp knife to core the apples: This will help to prevent the apples from splitting when they are baked. Be sure to scoop out the core completely.
  • Pack the apples tightly in the baking dish: This will help to keep them from falling apart. You can also use a toothpick to secure the apples together.
  • Bake the apples until they are tender: This will take about 45 minutes to an hour. You can check the apples for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the apples are done.
  • Serve the apples warm or at room temperature: You can top the apples with whipped cream, ice cream, or caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

Candy baked apples are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious treat that the whole family will love. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give candy baked apples a try!
