Maple & Fruit-filled Baked Apples
 
 
Author:
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
  • 6 baking apples {I’m partial to MacIntosh}
  • 1 cup of dried fruit and nuts, diced small
  • Maple syrup or honey to taste
  • Whipped cream {optional}
Instructions
  1. Wash and core apples but do not peel.
  2. Place in a baking dish making sure that the apples sit upright and stable. Trim the bottom flat if necessary
  3. Fill each apple cavity with dried fruit.
  4. Bake, covered, in preheated oven at 350˚ for about 30 minutes. Check frequently after 25 minutes for doneness. Apples should be soft but not mushy. Different varieties and sizes will take different baking times.
  5. Remove from oven once soft. Drizzle with maple syrup {or honey} and serve with a side of whipped cream.
  6. *Note, these apples stay hot for a long time because the skin holds in the heat. Removing them from the oven about 15 minutes before serving makes them the perfect eating temperature with the cool whipped cream.
