How to Make Baked Apples With Dried Fruit

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup apple cider, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 cup packed brown sugar.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, stir in 2 tablespoons of butter, and remove from heat. Set aside.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Core apples about 3/4 of the way down, leaving about 1/4 inch at the bottom intact.
  6. Stuff each apple generously with a mixture of 1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries, 1/4 cup chopped dried apricots, and 1/4 cup chopped raisins.
  7. Place the stuffed apples in a glass baking dish.
  8. Pour the cider mixture evenly over the apples.
  9. Cover the baking dish with foil.
  10. Bake for 45 minutes, basting the apples with the cider mixture every 15 minutes.
  11. Remove the foil and continue baking for 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened into a syrupy glaze.
  12. Let cool slightly before serving.
  13. Garnish each apple with a fresh mint leaf and a dollop of whipped cream (optional).
  14. Enjoy!
