Indulge in a comforting, gluten-free dessert with these easy baked apples – a delightful treat for any occasion.
Prepare these scrumptious baked apples with just four simple ingredients: apples, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon.
Opt for crisp and firm apple varieties like Golden Delicious, Pink Lady, or Honeycrisp for the perfect baked apple texture.
Brown sugar adds warmth and sweetness, complementing the natural flavors of the apples in this comforting dessert.
Butter brings richness and enhances the overall flavor profile of the baked apples, adding a luscious touch to each bite.
Ground cinnamon infuses the baked apples with cozy warmth, creating a delightful aroma and flavor sensation.
A pinch of salt elevates the flavors, balancing the sweetness and enhancing the overall taste experience of the baked apples.
Remove the core of each apple, leaving a well, then stuff them with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt mixture.
Place the prepared apples in a baking dish, top with butter, and bake until the sugar caramelizes and the apples are tender.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 40-45 minutes, until the sugar caramelizes and the apples reach desired tenderness.
Enjoy these delectable baked apples warm as-is or elevate your dessert experience with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Store any leftover baked apples in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days, reheating gently in the oven when ready to enjoy.
