How to Make Baked Apples With Vanilla Sauce

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Core 4 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) using an apple corer, but leave the skins on.
  3. Cut each apple in half widthwise.
  4. Place apple halves in a baking dish.
  5. Pour 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. While apples bake, prepare the vanilla sauce: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
  8. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk.
  9. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens and comes to a simmer (about 2-3 minutes).
  10. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  11. To serve, place 2 apple halves in each dessert dish. Top generously with the vanilla sauce (about 1/4 cup per serving).
