Baked Spiced Granny Smith Apples recipe
This is a simple and healthy treat that can be made in the morning, afternoon or evening. Your guests will never know you spent so little time preparing it!
Ingredients
- 4 Granny Smith apples
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts or almonds or walnuts or pecans, chopped
- 1 tsp of Season with Spice's Vietnamese Cinnamon Powder
- 1/4 tsp of Season with Spice's Ginger Powder
- 1/4 tsp of Season with Spice's Indonesian Nutmeg Powder
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- Honey
- Apple cider or juice
- Butter
Instructions
- Slice the apples in half and core. Then remove a thin slice on the bottom of each half, allowing the apples to sit flat*. Place in baking pan.
- Drizzle honey over the apples.
- Mix the chopped hazelnuts, brown sugar, and spices, and sprinkle over apples and into the baking pan.
- Add apple cider (or juice) into the pan, so the apples soak in a half inch pool of spiced goodness.
- Finally, top each apple with a dab of butter.
- Bake at 375F (190C) until topping is browned and apples are softened.
Notes
- *It is important to slice the bottom of the apple halves, so the spiced juice can find its way into the apples to add flavor and to ensure it cooks evenly.
- Serve as a side to a pork dish, and baste apples and pork with the spiced juice. Or as a dessert topped with sugarless, fresh vanilla bean whipped cream.
