These apples are almost a meal in themselves. Scoop out the apple core; then the flesh -leaving only 1/4-inch thickness of the apple shell and then stuff with this wonderful filling and bake until the apple skin is wrinkled and the filling is bubbly. Serve with some of the rum drippings and a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Oh my,oh...

Tips for Making Perfect Baked Apples:

Choose the Right Apples: Use firm, tart apples such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. These varieties hold their shape well during baking and provide a nice contrast to the sweet filling.
Core the Apples Carefully: Use an apple corer to remove the core, leaving the bottom intact. Be careful not to cut through the bottom of the apple.
Stuff the Apples Generously: Fill the apples with your desired filling, pressing it in firmly. You can use a variety of fillings, such as brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, nuts, dried fruits, or even savory ingredients like sausage or cheese.
Bake the Apples at the Right Temperature: Bake the apples at 375°F (190°C) for about 45 minutes, or until they are tender but still hold their shape. Check the apples regularly to ensure they don't overcook.
Serve the Apples Warm or Cold: Baked apples can be served warm or cold. Serve them with a dollop of whipped cream, ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra special treat.
