How to Make Baked Caramel Apples

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Core 4 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) leaving about 1/2 inch at the bottom.
  3. Place cored apples in a baking dish or individual apple bakers.
  4. Sprinkle each apple generously with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
  5. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of caramel ice cream topping over each apple.
  6. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chopped pecans over each apple.
  7. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until apples are tender and caramel is bubbly. Check apples after 30 minutes; baking time may vary depending on the size and type of apples.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!

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!
