Baked Apples

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year and a wonderful year ahead !!

Baked Apples, something deferent and delicious. It has good flavour with butter and brown sugar. And here I recommend a combination with generous portion of Vanila ice cream. So here is recipe for you all to try.

Ingredients

• Apples 4 large red apples
• Brown Sugar 1/4 cup
• Cinnamon 1tsp
• Raisins 1/4 cup
• Pecan Nuts 1/4 cup chopped
• Butter 1 tbsp 
• Water 3/4 cup, boiled

Method

Pre heat your oven 190degree C. Rinse and dry the apples. Using a sharp knife cut out the cores, leaving the bottom 1/2 inch of the apples intact. Using a knife, first cut out the stem area and then use a small metal spoon to scoop out the seeds. Cut the holes so that they are an inch or so wide. Just put slice mark from outside using sharp knife. 

Take a bowl and add brown sugar, cinnamon powder, raisins, chopped pecans and stir to combine. Mix the flesh we removed from apples and mix well. Put the apples in a baking dish and stuff each apple with this mixture. Place a small piece of butter on top of the stuffed apple. 

Pour the boiling water into the bottom of the baking dish. Bake at 180 C for 30 to 40 minutes, until the apples are cooked through and tender, but not overcooked. When done remove the apples from the oven and place them with the juices from the pan. Serve with 1 scoop of Vanila ice cream.Its terrific.. I loved it.

NB: If you don't have pecan nuts use almonds or pista or other nuts which you like. Enjoy cooking.
