→ Extras on Top
09 -
Vanilla ice cream or unsweetened whipped cream
10 -
Caramel drizzle
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 375°F and let it warm. Combine nutmeg, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Toss that together with the dried cranberries.
02 -
Use a coring tool (or knife) to remove the apple centers but keep the base intact. Line them up in a baking dish without crowding them.
03 -
Spoon the filling into your apples equally. Add a 1/2 tablespoon of butter on top of each apple, along with optional walnuts. Sprinkle any leftover sugar mix over them.
04 -
Pour the hot water into the dish. Let them bake at 375°F for 45-60 minutes, or until they're soft (but don’t let them turn mushy). The bake time depends on the size and type of apple.
# Notes:
01 -
These apples are a warm and comforting fall treat with the flavors of a pie filling. They're great on their own or with a dollop of cream, a scoop of ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel.

Tart, crisp apples hold up best in the oven!
