How to Make Kittencal's Baked Apples

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the prepared baking pan on the second-lowest oven rack to prevent the apples from browning too quickly on the bottom. You may need to adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven.
  3. Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  4. Wash and thoroughly dry 6 medium apples (Rome Beauty, Golden Delicious, or Jonagold recommended).
  5. Carefully remove the core of each apple, leaving about 1/2 to 3/4 inch of the bottom intact.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 cup raisins.
  7. Place the cored apples in the prepared baking pan.
  8. Evenly divide the brown sugar mixture among the apples, gently stuffing it into the core cavity.
  9. Dot each apple with 2 teaspoons of butter (total 12 tsp for 6 apples).
  10. Pour 1 cup of boiling water into the baking pan.
  11. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are fork-tender, basting them with the pan juices several times during baking. If using a larger pan or doubling the recipe, increase the water accordingly.
  12. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Optional: Add 1/3 cup chopped pecans to the brown sugar mixture for extra flavor and texture.
