Fall season is apple season!

🍎 Apples have been called nature’s perfect snack. We love ‘em for so many reasons… While we love ‘em fresh with all of their crunchy, nutritious perfection — we especially love ‘em baked with brown sugar and cinnamon, served with vanilla ice cream. We call that the perfect fall treat!

INGREDIENTS

• 4 large seasonal apples

• ¼ cup brown sugar

• 1 Tablespoon butter (¼ T for each apple)

• 3/4 cup boiling water

DIRECTIONS

• Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• Rinse and dry your apples, and cut out holes in them for stuffing; they should be an inch or so wide.

• Place the brown sugar, cinnamon, currants or chopped raisins, and chopped pecans (if using) in a small bowl and stir to combine.

• Put the apples in a baking dish and stuff each apple with the sugar mixture.

• Place ¼ T of butter on top of the sugar.

• Next, pour the boiling water into the bottom of the baking dish.

• Bake at 375°F for 30 to 45 minutes, until the apples are cooked through and tender, but not overcooked and mushy.

• When done, remove the apples from the oven and baste them with the juices from the pan.

Enjoy with vanilla ice cream!
