Make these easy baked apples with cinnamon and brown sugar. They become soft, sweet, and full of warm flavor, perfect for a quick dessert or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large baking apples (like Honeycrisp or Fuji)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 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 core the apples, removing the seeds and core but leaving the bottom intact so the filling stays inside.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This is your cinnamon sugar filling.
  4. Place the cored apples in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Spoon the cinnamon sugar filling evenly into the center cavity of each apple.
  6. Place a small piece of butter on top of the filling 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. Baking time depends on the size and variety of your apples.
  9. Carefully remove the dish from the oven. Let the baked apples cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

  • Serve these warm baked apples with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent treat.
  • If you prefer baked apple slices instead of whole apples, slice the apples thinly and toss them with the filling ingredients before spreading them in a single layer in the baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • For a healthier option, reduce the brown sugar to 2 tablespoons and use maple syrup instead of butter.
