Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium baking apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup water
- Optional: 1 tablespoon butter (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Wash the apples thoroughly. Use a sharp paring knife or an apple corer to remove the core from the top, leaving the bottom intact to create a well for the filling.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together.
- Spoon the sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly into the cored center of each apple. If using butter, place a small piece on top of the filling in each apple.
- Place the filled apples in a small baking dish.
- Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish. This creates steam to keep the apples moist.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve warm. You can spoon any remaining liquid from the pan over the apples before serving.
Notes
- Choose firm apples that hold their shape well during baking.
- If you prefer a softer texture, you can bake them slightly longer.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
