How to Make Bourbon Butterscotch Baked Apples
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel a 1/2-inch strip of peel around the top of each apple using a vegetable peeler.
- Arrange apples upright in a shallow, flameproof baking dish just large enough to accommodate the apples.
- Place 1 tablespoon of butter on top of each apple.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of brown sugar over each apple, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon of bourbon (or substitute liquor).
- Bake for 30-50 minutes, or until apples are puffed and tender, basting occasionally with the pan juices. Baking time depends on the type of apple; firmer apples will take longer.
- Transfer apples to a platter and keep warm.
- Pour 1/2 cup of heavy cream into the baking pan.
- Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce has reduced by half and coats the back of a spoon (7-10 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Spoon sauce onto serving plates.
- Place a baked apple in the center of each plate and serve immediately.
