How to Make Amish Baked Apples

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
3. Core 6 medium apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix) leaving about 1/2 inch at the bottom intact.
4. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup apple cider, 1/4 cup butter, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of salt.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
6. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
7. Place the cored apples in the prepared baking dish.
8. Pour the warm syrup evenly over the apples.
9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the syrup is bubbly.
10. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
