No Fall apple recipe collection is complete without baked stuffed apples. The stuffing is sweet and nutty and buttery, the apples truly the taste of Fall. I love these and hope you do too. My Mother used to make them often.
You want firm, fresh apples, but you can use red, yellow, green, or a combination. Everyone has a favorite. I’m partial to my honey crisps, of course!
So take 4 apples. Use a small sharp knife to remove the stems, seeds, and most of the cores. Don’t cut all the way through the bottom, but make a deep well.
In a medium bowl, mix 2T room temp butter with 1/4C packed brown sugar and 1t cinnamon. Add in 1/4C finely chopped pecans. Scoop stuffing evenly into apples. Place in a baking dish and add 1/2C water to the dish.
Bake in a 350 F oven for about 40 minutes or until apples are tender. To serve, scoop pan juices over apples and add that important scoop of vanilla ice cream.
This is a quick, easy Fall dessert everyone will love. It’s easy to double for a larger crowd.
I am in my early 50's, happily retired from almost 30 years as an R.N. For the first time, I can devote all my time to my husband, family, and home. My 4 year old granddaughter Nataly said the best thing about Grammy is her treats and eats, and that gave me the idea for this blog. I have spent a lot of time researching recipes on line and in cookbooks. I also became fascinated with the science side of cooking, enabling me to really understand why certain steps are absolutely necessary and what is achieved by doing them properly. Now that I know so much more about that, I am able to create wonderful recipes of my own.
I am married, and have six grown sons and five grandchildren, 2 girls and 3 boys. I live with my husband Doc and 94 year old mother in law Mabel. The three of us take care of each other! I love being a wife, mother, daughter, and Grammy. I love taking care of my family and my home. I LOVE cooking!
