Ingredients for Baked Apples With Blackberry Jam

  • Golden Delicious Apples
  • Unsalted Butter
  • 4 tablespoons blackberry jam
  • Creme Fraiche

How to Make Baked Apples With Blackberry Jam

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Core 4 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji) about ¾ of the way through, leaving the bottom intact.
  3. In a small bowl, melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter.
  4. Place apples in a baking dish (8x8 inch or similar).
  5. Stuff each apple with 1 tablespoon of melted butter and 1 tablespoon of blackberry jam.
  6. Pour ½ cup of water or apple juice into the bottom of the baking dish.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, basting occasionally with the pan juices, until apples are very tender and the juices have thickened into a glaze.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with a dollop of crème fraîche or sour cream, if desired. A sprinkle of cinnamon is also a delicious addition!

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!
