How to Make Baked Apples In Maple Syrup

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Core 4 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), leaving the bottom intact. Remove seeds and carefully peel away a small portion of the skin from the top of each apple.
  3. Gently stuff each apple with 1 tablespoon of currants.
  4. Place the apples in an oven-safe baking dish.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup apple juice, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of ground cloves.
  6. Pour the maple syrup mixture over the apples.
  7. Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, basting the apples with the pan juices every 15 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  8. Serve warm. Optional: Top with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
