- 8 cooking apples (I used Gala and they worked beautifully)
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- ½ cup raisins (optional)
- 8 heaping tsp cold butter
- 2 cups apple juice (or water)
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- preheat the oven to 350F
- wash apples and remove the stems (photo 1)
- use a melon baller to remove the apple core being careful not to remove the bottom of the apple
- peel off about 1 inch of skin from the top of the apples
- place apples in glass baking dish, cut side up (photo 2)
- combine brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and raisins (if using) in a small bowl
- stuff the brown sugar mixture in the cavity of each apple, pressing firmly
- sprinkle any remaining brown sugar over the apples in the baking dish
- pour about 2 cups of apple juice into the baking dish
- top each apple with a heaping tsp-sized chunk of cold butter (photo 3)
- bake, uncovered, about an hour, until apples are soft and starting to burst a little bit over the top of the skins (photo 4)
- serve hot with ice cream and lots of the sauce drizzled over the top (photo 5)
