Ingredients
- 2 medium apples
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Use a knife to carve out the core from the top half of each apple; it may be tricky at first, but be aggressive.
- Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter in a medium bowl. Mix with a fork, pressing butter against the sides of the bowl until covered with sugar and cinnamon and chunky. Scoop mixture into the apples, making sure to pack it tightly. Place apples upright on a small cooking tin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the hot tin from the oven and let apples cool for 10 minutes before serving.

2.13.22 There’s either an error in this recipe or I simply don’t understand it. Baking an apple for 10 minutes at 350ºF is not enough time to cook an apple. However, I did pull it out of the oven to check at 10 minutes, the apple was still raw, and the filling hadn’t even started to melt. If this not supposed to be cooked through (I baked for 30 minutes) and eaten as a raw apple, why even put it in the oven? IMO 3/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon seemed excessive for 2 apples, so I did use a brown sugar blend to try to get the calories and carbs down and cut the amount of cinnamon (strong spice) in half. I carved out the first apple, filled it (really packed it in), and then cut the second one even larger, and I still had a lot of filling left over, enough for at least one more apple, maybe two. It would have been nice if the recipe submitter had suggested some apple types, but I used Granny Smith which was a good contrast to the super sweet filling. Apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon is a winning combination, but sorry, I just don’t understand how this is supposed to turn out. I’m giving this 3 stars because we ate it, it tasted OK, but I’ll be moving on, won’t make this one again.
