Recipe for baked apples; simple,very little spice, what type of apple to use Please?

Question

My Dad loves apples. He has gotten to where he can't eat them raw anymore.

Answer 1

4 large good baking apples, such as Rome Beauty, Golden Delicious, or Jonagold
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup currants or chopped raisins
1 Tbsp butter
3/4 cup boiling water


1 Preheat oven to 375°F. Wash apples. Remove cores to 1/2 inch of the bottom of the apples. It helps if you have an apple corer, but if not, you can use a paring knife to cut out first the stem area, and then the core. Use a spoon to dig out the seeds. Make the holes about 3/4-inch to an inch wide.

2 In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, currants/raisins, and pecans. Place apples in a 8-inch-by-8-inch square baking pan. Stuff each apple with this mixture. Top with a dot of butter (1/4 of the Tbps).

3 Add boiling water to the baking pan. Bake 30-40 minutes, until tender, but not mushy. Remove from the oven and baste the apples several times with the pan juices.

Serve warm with vanilla icecream on the side

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Scoop out the core from top of the apple, leaving a well. Do not cut all the way through. Stuff each apple with 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1 tablespoon butter. Place in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, until sugar begins to caramelize and apples are tender.

I'm partial to Macintosh. They're my fave.

Baked apples are very easy - I never even measure the ingredients.

Usually I'll preheat the oven to about 350, or if I only make 2 apples, I use the toaster oven.

Then I scoop out the core with a knife, but leave a little remaining at the bottom to hold in all the filling.

In a bowl I mix butter (or Smart Balance) with some sugar or brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, & a tiny bit of ginger (or whatever spices you like - mix it up from time to time!). If the butter is cold & stiff, use 2 sharp knives to mix.

Spoon the butter mixture into the apples and bake them in a baking dish for about 1/2 hour or until you start to smell them & they look toasty.

Your Dad may like this simple Apple Dumpling recipe.
One whole Granny Apple-core removed, sprinkle w/cinnamon, Splenda, and wrap in a 1/3 premade pie shell. Bake at 350 until done. Or you don't have to use the pie shell.

Answer 6

A tart apple such as Granny Smith or a Macintosh; Jonathan, Winesap, or Rome.
You'd want to pick one that cooks well.
Personally, I think the golden and red delicious apples don't have enough flavor--especially cooked.
Chances are any apples grown locally that are good for canning will be a good bet for purchase.
The White House Brand of sliced apples is a good canned apple staple to pick up for use at home; just did an apple crisp and apple cobbler using this canned brand. Great taste and texture.

Simple dessert: Wash; core apple, add teaspoon butter, teaspoon brown sugar to core space; place in microwave dish; add teaspoon water of small amount of lemon juice; cover; microwave on fresh vegetable setting for time indicated for one vegetable or you might want to use potato microwave setting. Remove from microwave; sprinkle with cinnamon; nutmeg or apple pie spice;
Serve with/without whipped cream.
Note: cook apple until desired texture is reached. Will be longer or shorter length of time depending on size of fruit. Can squeeze small amount of lemon juice over cut surface to stop natural browning that will occur when apple flesh is exposed to air.

Answer 7

Bramley cooking apples.
Coretheapple andscoretheskin around the middle.Place on an ovenproof platre or tray.
Fill the core space with sweet mince (don't know what it's called in the States!)
Sprinkle brown sugar over the top and bake in the oven on medium heat until the apple is soft.
Non technical - I know but that's how my mother does them. They are very good eaten hot with custard.

Answer 8

Rome, Cortland, nearly any of the Upstate New York developed small round varieties are good for this. Avoid the "delicious" varieties like the plague. They turn into mush and have no real flavor.
