Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 4 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 4 teaspoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.25 cups Chopped pecans
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and core the apples, making sure to leave the bottom intact to create a cavity for the filling.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, smoked paprika, chopped pecans, and vanilla extract.
Stuff the cavity of each apple with the filling mixture, pressing it in gently to ensure it is fully packed.
Top each stuffed apple with 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter.
Place the apples in a baking dish and pour the water into the bottom of the dish to prevent drying out.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the tops are caramelized.
Carefully remove the apples from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
