How to Make Savoury Baked Apples With Herbed Shallots

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel, core, and halve 6 medium Empire apples. (Use a melon baller or apple corer to create a cavity; if using a corer, you may have extra stuffing.)
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter (1/4 cup), minced shallots (1/2 cup), fresh thyme leaves (2 tablespoons), fresh rosemary leaves (1 tablespoon), salt (1/2 teaspoon), and freshly ground black pepper (1/4 teaspoon).
  4. Gently mix in the bread crumbs (1/2 cup) until well combined.
  5. Spoon the shallot mixture evenly into the cavities of the apples.
  6. Place the apples in a baking dish and pour in the chicken broth (1/2 cup) around the apples.
  7. Bake for 90-100 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is golden brown. Baste with pan juices halfway through baking.
  8. Serve warm as a delicious side dish to roast meats.
