Delicious Baked Apples
These baked apples are tender and taste great on a cold evening or any other evening! Plus the house smells just divine while cooking them. Adjust the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg to suit your taste.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons vanilla sugar
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon or to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg or to taste
- 6 large apples - peeled cored, and sliced
- 3 ½ tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking dish with butter.
- Mix brown sugar, vanilla sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl.
- Layer about 1/3 of the apples in the prepared baking dish; sprinkle with 1/3 of the sugar mixture.
- Repeat layers twice more.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Pour water over apples and continue baking until tender, about 15 minutes more.
Notes
Cook’s Note
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a simple dessert. Sometimes I spoon some of the apples into a ramekin and top with granola and caramel sauce; briefly broil to create a mini apple crisp.
