How to Make Creamy Baked Apples

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel, core, and cut 6 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji) into eighths.
  3. Place the apple slices in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Dot the apples with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  5. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle generously over the apples.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until apples are tender but still hold their shape.
  7. While the apples bake, prepare the creamy sauce: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 2 cups milk until smooth.
  8. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
  9. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  10. Pour the creamy sauce over the baked apples.
  11. Sprinkle with an additional 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg, if desired.
  12. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm.
