Indulge in the delectable flavors of Pecan Praline Apples, a perfect dessert that combines the crispness of apples with the rich and nutty taste of pecan praline. This easy-to-follow recipe will guide you in creating a delightful treat that will impress your family and friends.

Ingredients:

4 apples
640g
1/3 cup pecans
40g
1 cup sugar
200g
1/2 cup water
120g
1 tsp vinegar
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Apples:
- Wash and dry the apples thoroughly.
- Remove the apple cores using an apple corer or a sharp knife. Be sure to leave the bottom of the apples intact to create a small cavity for the pecan praline filling.
- Place the prepared apples on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Chop the Pecans:
- Roughly chop the pecans and set them aside.
3. Make the Praline Syrup:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and vinegar.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Do not stir. Allow it to boil until it reaches a light amber color, approximately 5-7 minutes. This is your caramel.
4. Add the Pecans:
- Once the caramel reaches the desired color, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Quickly stir in the chopped pecans until they are evenly coated with the caramel.
5. Fill the Apples:
- Carefully spoon the pecan praline mixture into the cavities of the prepared apples, dividing it evenly among them.
6. Bake the Apples:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the filled apples in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape. You can test the apples by inserting a thin knife; it should glide in with slight resistance.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the apples from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Serve the pecan praline apples warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips:

- Choose firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best results.

- Toast the pecans lightly before using them to enhance their flavor.

- Stir the sugar and water mixture constantly to avoid burning.

- Use a candy thermometer to ensure the praline mixture reaches the desired temperature.

- Let the praline-coated apples cool completely before serving to allow the coating to harden.
