After a long sabbatical from cooking, I am suddenly voraciously creating yummy meals. The purchase of an apple corer with a release system, so the core goes away without ripping up your fingers to get the core out, has inspired me to make baked apples a few nights a week, and are they ever healthy and good. Here is the recipe:
Barbie's Baked Apples
Core as many apples (I use Rome) as you want to bake. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Put each apple in a pyrex backing cup that leaves a bit of room around the apple.
Into each cored apple place:
app. 2-3 walnuts in 1/2" chunks
1/2 t currants
2 or so hazelnuts cut into fourths
3-4 white raisins
squeeze 1/2 or so lemon on top
drizzle app. 1 T of agave syrup on top (to taste)
On top of the apples, sprinkle a few shakes each of:
Madagascar pure vanilla powder
anise powder
freshly grated nutmeg
From there experimentation is fun. Last night I put a thin slice of orange on top of each. Pull out all the stops. Sprinkle or add / subtract anything you think would enhance the taste for you.
Experiment
Bake at for around 35-40 minutes in a convection oven. If using a regular oven add 10 or so minutes
