How to Make Baked Apples With Honey Cream Sauce

  1. **Honey Cream Sauce:**
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 large egg yolks and 1/2 cup honey until light and frothy (about 10 minutes using a stand mixer or hand mixer).
  3. Reduce mixer speed to low.
  4. Add 1/4 cup of your favorite dessert wine (such as Marsala or Madeira) and mix until combined.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water). Stir constantly over moderate heat until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon thickly. (This will take about 8-10 minutes).
  6. Be careful not to let the mixture boil! Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  7. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled.
  8. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  9. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cold honey custard.
  10. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
  11. **Baked Apples:**
  12. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  13. Wash and dry 4-6 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala).
  14. Slice off the top third of each apple, leaving the stems intact.
  15. Carefully remove the cores using a melon baller or small knife.
  16. Place 1 tablespoon of butter into the core cavity of each apple. Rub a little butter onto the apple skins as well.
  17. Place apples in a baking dish.
  18. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar into the cavity of each apple, then sprinkle remaining sugar over the tops.
  19. Replace the apple tops.
  20. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until apples are tender.
  21. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
  22. Serve warm apples topped with a generous dollop of the chilled honey cream sauce.
