Ingredients
- 4 Honeycrisp apples, washed
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- Dash of salt
- 4 Tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Slice the top portion off the apples and scoop out the core with an apple-corer or melon-baller tool, leaving a well in the center. Be sure not to cut through the bottom of the apples.
- In a medium bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, cranberries, walnuts (or pecans), and salt until blended.
- Reserve about a teaspoon and half of the brown sugar mixture, and stuff each apple with ¼ of the remaining mixture. It's ok to pack it in if you need to and mound the top a little.
- Place the apples in a deep baking dish (an 8"x8" baking dish works well). Top each apple with 1 Tablespoon of butter and a sprinkle of the reserved brown sugar mixture.
- Pour about ½" to 1" of water into the baking pan around the apples, and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until apples are tender.
- Serve the apples warm. If you'd like, top them with whipped cream, a caramel sauce, or serve with a scoop of ice cream.
Notes
After baking, cover and refrigerate the apples for up to 4 days, then warm at 325° before serving.
You can also reheat Individual apples at 50% power in a microwave.
