Ingredients
- 4 whole apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons raisins
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Wash and core the apples, making sure to remove the seeds and create a hollow center without cutting all the way through to the bottom.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and walnuts (if using).
Step 4
Stuff the hollow center of each apple with the brown sugar mixture, pressing it down lightly to fill.
Step 5
Place the apples in a baking dish, ensuring they are snug and upright.
Step 6
Top each apple with about 1/2 tablespoon of butter, pressing it onto the filling.
Step 7
Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish to help create steam and prevent sticking.
Step 8
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Step 10
Let the baked apples cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
