Baked apples with spiced sugar are a deliciously simple dessert that brings out the natural sweetness of the fruit while infusing it with warm, aromatic spices. This recipe pairs the tangy crispness of apples with the rich flavors of brown sugar, cardamom, and butter to create a cozy, comforting treat perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash and core the apples, ensuring you remove the seeds and create a cavity in the center of each apple.
2. Combine the Spices:
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and ground cardamom until well combined.
- Place the cored apples in a baking dish.
- Spoon the sugar and cardamom mixture into the cavities of each apple, dividing it evenly among the four apples.
- Pour the melted butter over the filled apples, allowing some to seep into the cavities and the rest to coat the outside.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the tops are caramelized.
- Remove the apples from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Tips:
- Choose firm, crisp apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji for the best texture and flavor.
- Core the apples thoroughly to ensure they cook evenly and absorb the spiced sugar mixture.
- For a nutty crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, into the cored apples before baking.
- If you prefer a spicier flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg along with the cardamom.
- Baste the apples with the melted butter and sugar mixture occasionally during baking to enhance the caramelization.
Enjoy your warm, fragrant baked apples with spiced sugar as a delightful dessert or snack. The harmonious blend of sweet and spice makes this dish a crowd-pleaser that's sure to leave everyone asking for seconds. Serve it alone, or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special touch.
