Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Apples (preferably Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.3333 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pecans (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Raisins (optional)
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Core the apples, removing the seeds and creating a hollow center, while leaving the bottom intact to hold the filling.
In a small bowl, mix together the butter, brown sugar, dark rum, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth.
If using, stir in the chopped pecans and raisins to the mixture.
Stuff an equal portion of the butter rum mixture into the hollowed-out center of each apple.
Place the stuffed apples upright in a baking dish. Pour the water into the base of the dish to prevent the apples from sticking and to keep them moist during baking.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the apples are tender but not falling apart.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the apples cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
