How to Make Kittencal's Baked Apples
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 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.
- Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- Wash and thoroughly dry 6 medium apples (Rome Beauty, Golden Delicious, or Jonagold recommended).
- Carefully remove the core of each apple, leaving about 1/2 to 3/4 inch of the bottom intact.
- 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.
- Place the cored apples in the prepared baking pan.
- Evenly divide the brown sugar mixture among the apples, gently stuffing it into the core cavity.
- Dot each apple with 2 teaspoons of butter (total 12 tsp for 6 apples).
- Pour 1 cup of boiling water into the baking pan.
- 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.
- 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.
