- 0.5 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Wash and core the apples, making sure to leave the bottom intact to create a cavity for the filling.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, smoked paprika, chopped pecans, and vanilla extract.
Step 4
Stuff the cavity of each apple with the filling mixture, pressing it in gently to ensure it is fully packed.
Step 5
Top each stuffed apple with 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter.
Step 6
Place the apples in a baking dish and pour the water into the bottom of the dish to prevent drying out.
Step 7
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the tops are caramelized.
Step 9
Carefully remove the apples from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
