The best baked apples I have ever made! Thank you Paula Deen!
Serves: 6
Ingredients
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup brown sugar
6 same-size Granny Smith apples
2 tablespoons butter, cut into 6 teaspoon-size pieces
1 cup apple juice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Combine cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
Core apples, making sure not to puncture the bottom of the apples so that the juices will remain. Remove skin from ½-inch around top of apples at the opening. Fill each cavity with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Top each apple with a teaspoon of butter.
Place apples in casserole dish and pour apple juice around them.
Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Remove from heat and serve.
Optional garnish: whipped cream, ice cream, or mint leaf.
