How to Make Baked Apples With Caramel Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 330°F (165°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup raisins, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 4 tablespoons brown sugar. Mix well.
  3. Peel and core 4 medium apples, leaving them whole.
  4. Arrange the apples in a pie plate just large enough to hold them in a single layer.
  5. Fill the cavity of each apple with the walnut-raisin mixture.
  6. Sprinkle the lemon zest and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar over the apples. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter.
  7. Pour 2 tablespoons of brandy (optional) around the apples.
  8. Bake for 60-75 minutes, basting occasionally with pan juices, until the apples are tender.
  9. Remove from oven and keep warm, loosely covered, while you prepare the caramel sauce.
  10. For the caramel sauce: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup unsalted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup heavy cream.
  11. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved.
  12. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the sauce to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
  13. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
  14. To serve: Divide the caramel sauce among 4 dessert plates. Place a baked apple in the center of each plate.
