BAKED APPLES Hands-on time: 15 minutes
Total preparation time: 1 hour
9 servings - 1-1/2 cups brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- Dash cinnamon
- Dash nutmeg
- 1-1/2 cups water
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 9 small or medium apples
In a 1½-quart saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and spices; stir together with a wooden spoon to remove any obvious lumps. Add water and stir. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add butter. Cook until thick, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, rub a 9x9-inch glass dish with butter. Wash and core the apples and place right side up in the dish. Pour the sauce into and over the apples.

LATER NOTES • Are dashes of cinnamon and nutmeg enough? I felt tempted to add more when remaking this recently. But dashes are perfect, allowing the delicate apple flavor to infuse the sauce without competition.
• An apple corer makes quick work of removing the cores. Mine, however, has disappeared but a utility knife and a serrated grapefruit knife were good substitutes.
• Look for small apples in three-pound bags in the produce section.

I've baked apples but never with such a lovely glaze... Hi Katie ~ This is what baked apples look like before they're baked. Afterward, they're gorgeous to the eye -- all plump and soft and deep caramel brown -- just not to the camera! This one really did have me back in my mother's kitchen when I was little. Baked apples with a maraschino cherry on top! Thanks for the memory. I think I just got off the school bus and the kitchen smells like baked apples and a pork roast. You know you make me wanna shout, kick my heels up and shout... I love baked apples! I can smell them just by looking at the photo...now I know what I'm doing tomorrow! What a fun blog btw. I'm glad I found it today. That's a great classic comfort food recipe, thanks for sharing, Alanna! At first glance I thought they were glazed donuts - gave me a sugar rush!
Dessert doesn't have to be junk food. One of these would satisfy my sweet tooth very nicely, thank you. Looks delicious! How could I resist that glaze? Was tasty :). Essentially a apple pie without the 'pie'. Made it straight from the recipe but next time would peel the apples along with coring. The skins just dont do anything for me ;P. Hi anonymous ~ Ah yes, the peel or no peel question, glad you brought it up. I don't peel the apples (nor did my mother) but they can be tough, definitely take some pressure to slice through. When I made them for my dad last week, he complimented me on the softness of the peel - which suggests that other times, the peels have been tough. Last week's batch spent an extra half half hour in the oven, waiting for the ice cream to arrive!
So - yes, do peel. I'd love to know how they work out that way. I am a kitchen manager for a Assisted living facility. This looks like a recipe that they would enjoy. I am always looking for a new one. I'll try and let you know Hi Anonymous ~ If it's any guide, my 81-year old father was licking his chops over this a few weeks ago! I do hope you'll let me know!
