Description

These baked apples turn Honeycrisp or similar apples into individual warm desserts. Each cored apple is filled with a mixture of brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans, then topped with a little butter. Water in the baking dish keeps the environment moist as the fruit softens in the oven. The apples emerge tender with a fragrant, sweet filling and a little crunch from the nuts. Serve them warm as they are, or add vanilla ice cream and caramel syrup for a more indulgent finish.
