Ingredients

• 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

How to Make Caramel-Drizzled Baked Apples

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Wash the apples and remove the core using an apple corer or a knife, making sure to leave the bottom intact to hold the filling.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the melted butter and mix until well combined.
4. Stuff each apple with the brown sugar mixture, pressing it down gently to fill them well.
5. Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish. Pour a little water into the bottom of the dish to help steam the apples as they bake.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
7. Remove the apples from the oven and drizzle with caramel sauce. If desired, sprinkle with chopped nuts for added crunch.
8. Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

For the best flavor and texture, choose apples that are firm and slightly tart. Granny Smith apples work particularly well, but feel free to experiment with other varieties. Additionally, you can adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar based on your taste preferences.

Easy Variations

• Try adding raisins or dried cranberries to the filling for added sweetness and texture.
• Substitute maple syrup for the brown sugar for a different flavor profile.
• For a spiced twist, add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the filling mixture.
• If you love chocolate, drizzle some melted chocolate over the caramel for an indulgent treat.

What to Serve With It

• Vanilla or cinnamon ice cream for a creamy contrast.
• Fresh whipped cream for an extra touch of sweetness.
• A side of caramel sauce for drizzling.
• Coffee or spiced cider to complement the flavors.

Storage and Reheating

Leftover baked apples can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the apples in a microwave-safe dish and heat for 30-60 seconds, or until warmed through. You can also reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
