It’s been raining and windy here for the past few weeks. It’s perfect time for comfort food to cheer up the gloom. So I decided to surprise the little ones with baked apples for a snack!
Ingredients
- 6 Cooking apples
- 1/2 Cup sugar
- 2 Tsp cinnamon
- 4 Tsp butter
- 1/2 Cup raisins
- 1 cup water (or apple juice or apple cider)
Instructions
- Combine sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and stir well. Mix in raisins.
- Wash and core your apples, leaving the bottoms whole.
- Fill apples with filling mixture and place in a baking dish.
- Top with 1 tsp of butter per apple.
- Pour 1 cup of water into the baking dish.
- Bake for about 40 minutes at 350F.
- Pour sauce from the baking tray into a pot, bring to a boil. Boil gently for abt 5 minutes or until thickened.
- Pour over top of apples.

Hi Kim:
This sounds wonderful. The only thing is my kids won’t eat raisins…funny considering they eat almost every other kind of food including vegetables…but don’t like raisins. So I would probably do dried cranberries or cherries like you suggested.
The way I do mine is very similar to apple crisp. I core them exactly the same way you do…except I put the brown sugar, oatmeal, butter,cinnamon combo.. inside. If I am serving for just our family that is all I do…unless I have some ice-cream I will add a bit.
If I make this for company…I make a homemade maple sauce and drizzle it over before serving…then add whipped cream. This way is more “high calories” than yours that’s for sure.LOL.
But it makes an awesome dessert…and like yours, it’s a great presentation as well.
Look forward to trying yours though.

Oh maple sauce sounds really yummy to!! My kids love raisins but hubby doesn’t. I’d probably use chopped pecans in his.
Haven’t done that in years, very nice, thanks !!
That sounds good. What a treat.
Apples are now on my grocery list!
I remember my mamma making these when I was a kid.
That’s great! They sure are yummy, especially on a cold fall day.
[...] think there will be a lot of applesauce, apple butter and baked apples in the next few [...]
Thanks! The kids loved them. lol I think we’ll be making these often this fall.
It’s been along time since i had baked apples. I love them on cold winter night after a good supper.
