Baked Apples in Butter Brandy Sauce

By Hklbrries

Ingredients

• 4 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1/2 tsp allspice
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 4 tbsp butter
• 1 cup brandy

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Cut and scoop out the core of the apple from the top, leaving a well. Do not cut all the way through.

Place apples in a shallow baking dish. Mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice and nutmeg; pack the mixture into the cored apple and pile the remaining on the tops, covering them. Place 1 tablespoon of butter on top of each apple. Pour the brandy into the dish, drizzling over the apples. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.

Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the apples can be sliced with a spoon. Serve in a bowl with ice cream and spoon sauce over the top. The sauce will be slightly runny.
