It’s all about apples this week on the blog, and today we’re going to be making some Wild Baked Apples. Of course, you’re welcome to use whatever apples you have- but since the apples used in this recipe are on the smaller side, you may have to adjust the ingredients accordingly.
{Grab the kids for this one- my 2, 3, and 6 year-olds all pitched in and had a blast!}
{Wild} Baked Apples
What You Will Need:
-Approx. 5 wild apples, cut in half (or 4 large standard apples)
-butter
-brown sugar
-cinnamon
-nutmeg
-lemon juice
-1 cup apple juice
Step 1:
Remove the centers of your apple halves with a melon baller (spoon or knife works fine too). Place cut-side up in a 13″x9″ pan and squeeze a drop of lemon juice into the middles of each apple.
Step 2:
Add 1 teaspoon butter per apple half. {My melon baller was still handy, so that is what we used.}
Step 3:
Add 1 teaspoon of brown sugar per apple half.
Step 4:
Sprinkle on some cinnamon and nutmeg.
Step 5:
Pour the 1 cup of apple juice into the pan, around the apples. {I used homemade unsweetened apple juice- but whatever you have on hand works just fine.}
Step 6:
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Serve warm with juices from pan drizzled over top.
