Keeping it Simple

Sometimes keeping something simple is the best way.

Baked apples are a delicious dessert that can be prepared and enjoyed in less than an hour.

The ingredients are easily found.

Four apples (I used Ida Reds)...peeled and cored.   1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 tsp. of cinnamon, 1 tsp. of nutmeg mixed together...1/2 cup of apple juice (cider is much better) heated and four tsp. of butter is all that is needed.

Fill each hole in the apple with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg mixture. Then top with 1 tsp. of butter on each apple and pour the heated cider over the top.   Bake in oven at 400 degrees for 25-35 min.  basting occasionally with the cider mixture.







Served warm with a scoop of a vanilla ice cream makes this a delightful dessert sure to please.












Thank you letting me share this simple dish.    Hope you have a blessed day!

    Ooh, I love baked apples. Now you've made me hungry for them...I think I'll go and pop several in the oven. I love the painting of the apple; interesting perspective.

    Blessings,

    Apple painting is sooo good as is the recipe. I use Bramleys and don't know if you can get them, they are very tart, and I put in mincemeat (do you get that, we put it in mince pies and is a sweet mix not beef)

    At first glance, I thought that apple was real, then I realized it was your painting! Lovely work dear!

    This dessert looks perfect for this time of year, so warm and cozy and of course I love your drawings, a peek into your sketchbook.

    My husband loves to create desserts like this one. Alas, I am more of a chocolate freak than anything else.
