3.69 5 Published Oct 06, 2021, Updated Nov 06, 2024 Whether you have an abundance of apples and don’t know what to do with them, or are just craving an apple treat, these baked apples are going to be your new go-to. They take a little bit of effort to get the apples cored but the end result is 100% worth it! Use a spoon, apple corer, melon baller or grapefruit spoon to carefully dig out the core and then scoop out more of the apple and any other seeds so you have a little cavity inside your apple that is about 1.5 inches wide.
Step by Step Process
Ice cream – Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I love Halo Top Creamery vanilla ice cream, which is a low cal/low sugar ice cream that actually tastes pretty darn good! Whipped cream – Top with a dollop of whipped cream or coconut whipped cream for an extra creamy touch that pairs perfectly with the warm apples. Caramel – Drizzle with homemade date caramel sauce. Extra sweet – Sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon and drizzle of pure maple syrup or honey. Yogurt – Add a dollop of creamy Greek or coconut yogurt for a little tang that balances the sweetness of the apples. It’s the perfect touch to make these baked apples feel just right for breakfast, too!

Preheat oven to 375 F. Core the apples, but leave the bottoms in tact (I find it easiest to cut the top part out with a small, sharp paring knife and then scoop the rest out with a small cookie scoop or melon baller.) Place in an 8×8″ baking dish and set aside. Combine softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and chopped pecans in a small bowl. Stuff the butter mixture into the cored apples.Cover the bottom of the pan with water and bake for 45-60 minutes or until the apples are soft and the filling is caramel-y. Serve immediately (you can serve with ice cream or cream/milk poured on top if you’d like.)
