At the end of the day, simple food tastes best. These baked apples convey the essence of fall, the warmth of a family hearth, and they take about 3 seconds to put together.
First, wash and clean your apples:
Second, cut out the stems from the apple:
Third, hollow out the core of your apple:
Fourth, place the number of apples you want in your pan.
Fifth, add enough water to have a half an inch of the pan filled.
Sixth, bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes, or until the apples are soft:
Filling ideas:
Cinnamon is always a must. I love it so I allow 1/2 T per apple
Chopped nuts. Walnuts or almonds are my favorite. About 1 teaspoon per apple.
Dried fruit: the apples above have dried cherries. I’m going to try dried cranberries and walnuts yet.
Dash of nutmeg. Makes all the difference!
Happy Fall everyone!

A reminder that a simple recipe/culinary approach can be just delish. Thanks for this post. Martha
Thanks Martha! I really believe simple is best!
Did you really mean 1 Tablespoon of cinnamon per Apple? That seems like a lot!! Can’t wait to try these. Can’t wait to try them!!
oh geez….HALF a tablespoon. Just goes to show you always need to proofread at least 3 times! Thanks for pointing that out. Hope you enjoy them!!!
Yum! I love baked apples! Too bad they’ve been so expensive where I live.
But I just might have to give your recipe a go. I especially love baked apples filled with cinnamon and honey. They’re to die for.
Yeah I here you. They are expensive in Japan to, because they are not in season where I live. But I found a bushel that was much cheaper at a farmer’s market rather than the regular store. If you can get to an orchard, there are usually great deals there too! Enjoy
Wow! Might as well try this!
Hope my friends will like them
