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
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. Combine cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. Top each apple with a teaspoon of butter.
  5. Place apples in casserole dish and pour apple juice around them.
  6. Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  7. Remove from heat and serve.
  8. Optional garnish: whipped cream, ice cream, or mint leaf.
Notes
Best apples: granny smith, fuiji or gala.
