Make tender, spiced baked apples with a simple brown sugar and cinnamon filling. This classic fall dessert is quick to prepare and comforting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium baking apples (like Honeycrisp or Fuji)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 small pieces
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Wash the apples. Use a small knife or melon baller to carefully core the apples, leaving about a half-inch of apple at the bottom so the filling does not leak out. Do not peel the apples.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together. This is your best baked apple filling.
  4. Place the cored apples into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Spoon the sugar and spice mixture evenly into the center cavity of each apple.
  6. Place one small piece of butter on top of the sugar mixture in each apple.
  7. Pour the 1/4 cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish around the apples.
  8. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork. The time depends on the size and variety of your apples.
  9. Carefully remove the apples from the oven. Serve warm as a simple fall apple recipe.

Notes

  • For a crispier topping, mix 2 tablespoons of rolled oats with the sugar mixture to create an apple crumble topping recipe.
  • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of apple cider glaze for added flavor.
  • If you prefer baked apple slices with cinnamon, slice the apples thickly, toss with the filling mixture, and bake on a sheet pan for 20 minutes.
