How to Make Baked Almond Apples
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with foil or use a baking dish.
- In a food processor or mixing bowl, combine 1 cup almond paste, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, ½ cup all-purpose flour, and ½ cup slivered almonds. Mix until well combined.
- In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ cup raisins, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or your favorite spice blend). Set aside.
- Core and peel 4-6 medium apples (depending on size).
- Completely dust the outside of the apples with 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
- Evenly press the almond mixture into the apples, ensuring the bottom hole is firmly covered.
- Roll each apple between your palms to smooth out any seams.
- Fill each apple cavity with the brown sugar mixture.
- Place the apples in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are soft but not mushy. If the apples are browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil (do not wrap tightly to prevent steaming).
- Serve warm. Optional: Top with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
