Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Apples (firm, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 100 grams Almond paste
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds
- 120 milliliters Water
- optional Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and core the apples, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom. Leave about 1/2 inch intact to hold the filling.
In a small bowl, mix the almond paste with 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon until well combined. Divide the almond paste into four equal portions and roll each portion into a small log or ball.
Stuff each cored apple with the almond paste mixture, pressing it gently into the cavity.
Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and the granulated sugar evenly over the tops of the apples.
Dot each apple with a small piece of butter (about 1/2 tablespoon per apple), and sprinkle slivered almonds on top for added crunch.
Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish to keep the apples moist as they bake.
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the tops are golden brown.
Let the apples cool slightly before serving. These baked apples are delicious on their own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
