Quick and Easy Baked Apples

The other day a Facebook friend of mine, Rhonda, asked me for my recipe for quick and easy baked apples. I then realized that this is a recipe I make often using apples or pears and I have never shared the recipe here. I am correcting that mistake today!

Today my oldest and I took a quick trip to one of our favorite local orchards, Anderson Orchard, and grabbed a peck of Gala’s as well as a few fried apple delights that we gobbled down as quick as we could. I knew that with this peck of apples I could make not only quick and easy baked apples but also a small batch of sauce, turnovers and have enough left for snacking. They are just the right size neither too big nor too small.

My little fried apple pie and our giant bag of apples!

I also picked up a few of their large selection of squash- a Koosha, which I prefer to pumpkin in pies.

I also grabbed a few spaghetti squash to make spaghetti squash and sausage saute. Recipe coming soon! Once we had stocked up we headed home to finish off the beef stew and 3-bean chili I had started before we left. It was just what we needed on this chilly October day. I had planned to make another batch of pumpkin butter cake for us to snack on over the week but those apples- they were calling to me.

So I Farberware%20Classic Paring Knives, Mixed Colors, Set of 4peeled them, OXO%20Good Grips Corercored them, whisked a few things together, gave the apples a butter bath and baked them to soft perfection. This is one of the best quick fall recipes using apples that I have and like I said earlier- I make it often.

Let me know if YOU make it. I would love to hear what you think!

ingredients we all probably have on hand…

I left a bit of peel on- because I was too lazy to cut it all off. I DO think this is better using peeled apples. That is just my preference.

Ingredients

• 5-6 medium sized firm yet sweet apples- I used Gala’s
• 1/2 stick of butter (4 TB)

• 2 TB of light brown sugar
• pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Peel and core apples.
3. Place in a baking dish that is at least 2 inches in depth, sitting upright.
4. In a small bowl add the butter and melt via microwave.
5. Whisk in the sugar, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg.
6. Pour over apples.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until desired tenderness.
8. Serve as is, with a drizzle of caramel or with vanilla ice cream and nuts.

Important Notes

**I like to flip my apples over 1/2 way through the bake. That way the apples get a good coating of the butter mixture.
