Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Caramelized Baked Apples.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Next, take an apple corer or a melon baller and gently remove the core from the top of each apple, making sure to leave about 1 ½ inches intact at the bottom to hold in all the deliciousness.
Step 3
In a small bowl, blend together dark brown sugar, fragrant ground cinnamon, and a pinch of kosher salt until they harmonize beautifully.
Step 4
Generously fill each apple with approximately 2 tablespoons of this sweet mixture, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 5
Arrange your stuffed apples snugly in an 8-inch square baking dish.
Step 6
Crown each apple with a small pat of butter, then pour boiling water into the dish until it reaches a depth of 1/4 inch, creating a steamy environment for baking.
Step 7
Cover the dish with foil and let it bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Step 8
After this initial baking, remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the sugar has transformed into a luscious caramel.
Step 9
Serve these warm baked apples straight from the oven, and savor the delightful blend of flavors and aromas that will fill your kitchen.
Step 10
Enjoy every bite of this comforting treat!.
