- Course Desserts & Sweets
- Yields 4 baked apples
Preparation
What You Need
Different varieties of apples will take different lengths of time to bake. Refrigerate leftover sauce, reheat and serve warm overice cream or yogurt.
4 unpeeled apples
2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped walnuts (optional)
2 tbsp (30 mL) raisins
1 tbsp (15 mL) butter, at room temperature
1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cinnamon
1/3 cup (75 mL) apple cider or apple juice
1 cup (250 mL) 35% Real Whipping Cream, divided
1/2 cup (125 mL) brown sugar
3 tbsp (45 mL) butter
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla
Pinch salt
Instructions
Leaving apples whole, use a melon baller or very small spoon to scoop out cores and stems. Be careful not to cut through to bottom of apple. Peel off 1/2' (1 cm) strip of peel from around top of apples. Set apples aside in a baking dish just large enough to hold them.
Mix together walnuts, raisins, butter and cinnamon; stuff inside hollowed out cores of apples.
Stir cider with 1/4 cup (50 mL) Cream; pour over apples.
Bake apples uncovered in preheated 350° F (180° C) oven 35 to 50 min, basting every 15 min, or until apples are tender.
Pour Cream mixture from baking dish into a small saucepan along with brown sugar, butter and remaining 3/4 cup (175 mL) Cream. Set over medium high heat; bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 to 20 min, stirring occasionally until smooth and thick. Stir in vanilla and salt.
Serve warm sauce spooned over baked apples.
