These baked apples turn tender and juicy in the oven while a simple cinnamon-sugar filling melts into a warm, spiced syrup. A cored apple is the only prep needed, making this a fast dessert or snack for cool evenings. Serve warm on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

  • 4 apples, cored
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a paring knife or apple corer, remove the core from each apple, cutting down to within 1/2 inch of the bottom to create a well without piercing through.

  2. Arrange the cored apples upright in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  3. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together, then spoon the mixture evenly into the center of each apple, pressing down gently to pack it in.

  4. Pour 1/4 cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish to prevent sticking and help create steam.

  5. Bake until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the filling is bubbling, 35 to 45 minutes.

  6. Let the apples cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to serving plates and spoon any syrup from the dish over the top before serving warm.
