How to Make Baked Apples Ala Erbe

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Core 4 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji) carefully, leaving about 1/4 inch of the bottom intact to prevent the filling from leaking out.
  3. Place cored apples hole-side up in a nonstick 8-inch cake pan.
  4. Squeeze 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice into each apple cavity to prevent browning.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened; 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar; 1/4 cup raisins; and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger.
  6. Divide the butter-sugar-raisin-ginger mixture evenly among the apples, gently packing it into the cavities.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons molasses and 2 tablespoons orange juice.
  8. Pour the molasses-orange juice mixture over the apples in the cake pan.
  9. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Baste the apples with the pan juices a few times during baking.
  10. Let the apples cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving.
  11. Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
