Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Apples (medium-sized, firm varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup White wine (dry or semi-dry)
- 4 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
- 2 tablespoons Raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and core the apples, making sure to leave the bottom intact to create a 'pocket' for the filling. You can use an apple corer or a small paring knife for this step.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, optional chopped nuts, and optional raisins.
Place the cored apples in a baking dish, ensuring they are snugly arranged so they don't tip over.
Fill each apple cavity with the prepared sugar mixture, pressing lightly to pack it in.
Cut the butter into small pieces and place a piece on top of each filled apple.
In a measuring cup, combine the white wine and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the bottom of the baking dish around the apples.
Loosely cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape, and the tops are golden and caramelized.
Carefully remove the baked apples from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Spoon some of the wine sauce from the baking dish over the apples when serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
