Baked Apples With Caramel Sauce Recipes

BAKED APPLES WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Grease a baking pan just large enough to hold the apples.
• With a small knife, cut at an angle to enlarge the core opening at the stem end of each apple to about 1 inch diameter. (The opening should look like a funnel shape.).
• Arrange the apples in the prepared pan, stem end up.
• In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup water with brown sugar, nutmeg and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring. Boil for 6 minutes.
• Combine the walnuts and raisins. Spoon some of the walnut/raisin mixture into opening of each apple.
• Top each apple with some of the diced butter.
• Spoon the brown sugar sauce over and around the apples. Bake, basting occasionally with the sauce, until the apples are just tender, 45-50 minutes. Transfer the apples to a serving dish, reserving the brown sugar sauce in the baking pan. Keep the apples warm.
• For the caramel sauce, mix the butter, cream and reserved brown sugar sauce in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Let the sauce cool slightly before serving.
