Baked apples with honey and cinnamon
Baked apples with honey and cinnamon
Ingredients
- 4 baking apples, medium, such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 equal pieces
- 1/2 cup apple cider, or water
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
⏱️ 15 min•🌡️ 375°F - 2
Wash the apples thoroughly. Using a paring knife or an apple corer, carefully remove the core from each apple, leaving about 1/2 inch at the bottom so the filling doesn't leak out. You can also score a shallow line around the circumference of each apple about halfway down to prevent the skin from bursting during baking.
⏱️ 5 min - 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
⏱️ 2 min - 4
Place the cored apples in an 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch baking dish. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the honey mixture into the center of each apple. Place one piece of butter on top of the honey mixture in each apple.
⏱️ 3 min - 5
Pour the apple cider (or water) into the bottom of the baking dish around the apples. This will help create steam and prevent the apples from drying out.
⏱️ 1 min - 6
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork but still hold their shape. The baking time will vary depending on the type and size of apples used. Baste the apples once or twice during baking with the liquid from the bottom of the dish.
⏱️ 35 min•🌡️ 375°F - 7
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Let the baked apples cool slightly before serving. Spoon some of the pan juices over each apple before serving. Serve warm.
