Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Water
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash and core the apples, removing the stem and seeds but leaving the bottom intact to hold the filling. Optionally, peel the top third of each apple.
In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
Place the cored apples in a baking dish and evenly spoon the sugar-cinnamon mixture into the center of each apple.
Add a small piece of butter on top of the sugar mixture inside each apple's center.
In a separate small bowl, combine water, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, then pour the mixture around the apples in the baking dish.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place in the preheated oven.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork, but still hold their shape.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve the warm baked apples with a drizzle of the syrup from the dish and, if desired, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
