Filled Baked Apples image

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...

These were easy to make and turned out great! I used Honeycrisp apples and they were perfectly tender.

I thought these were just okay. The filling was a bit bland and the apples were a bit tough.

Not bad, but not great. The apples were a bit too tart for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly and the apples turned out great. The only thing I would change is to use a sweeter apples, like Honeycrisp.
