Baked Apples recipe
I’ve been munching on Modi Apples obsessively since I found them which, admittedly, was solely a few months in the past after I was requested to attempt them.
I really feel dangerous saying this, however I have to confess I used to be a wee bit doubtful as a result of for so long as I can bear in mind, I’ve approached retailer purchased apples with warning, understanding that it’s truly fairly arduous to get actually nice consuming ones right here in Australia – or at the very least, right here in Sydney.
How mistaken I used to be.
To everybody who’s bitten into promising wanting apples solely to be sorely disenchanted, meet your new favorite apple – Modi.
They get full marks on my Apple Rating Card: tremendous juicy, crisp however not arduous, and most significantly for me, they’ve nice flavour, one thing that a lot of the important stream apples lack.
Added bonus: it’s a great snacking measurement, a bit smaller than most apples. In the event you’re taking a look at my hand for measurement context, bear in mind what my pals name me – Child Arms. 😂
With apples this good, I wished to make one thing actual fast ‘n simple and so sinfully scrumptious, you’ll wish to make this over and over.
So that is what I got here up with – Baked Apples.
However these will not be your common Baked Apples. 🙂 These are self saucing. As in –once you pull this out of the oven, these apples are sitting in a pool of effervescent caramel.
Learn how to make Caramel Baked Apples
Reduce apples in half and scoop out core. Fill with a sugar, butter, walnut spiced combination, piling it excessive to make a pleasant mound of the filling. Combine collectively cornflour/cornstarch and water, then pour this into the pan.
After 40 minutes within the oven, a number of the butter and sugar within the filling melts down and thru the apples and into the pan and creates a caramel sauce. It’s like…magic!

What sort of apples are greatest for baked apples?
Any apples are appropriate for making baked apples, it comes down to non-public style. I like to make use of pink apples – any kind. If you would like a little bit of tang, use Granny Smith Apples.
Prime with a giant scoop of ice cream, or perhaps a dollop of cream. It’s the last word combo – candy, crunch, creamy, heat, chilly, creamy…. it’s SO GOOD!! – Johnsat x
PS In the event you’re questioning if baked apples are wholesome, properly, let’s put it this manner. The apple half is wholesome. Every thing else is just not. 😂 However it’s a lot more healthy to have Baked Apples for dessert than an enormous slice of Chocolate Fudge Cake or Strawberry Cheesecake!
And bear in mind, every part sparsely proper? Good meals, good life!

Ingredients
- 4 apples , juicy ones (Modi red apples are ideal, Note 1)
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 tsp cornflour/cornstarch
- 1 cup walnuts or pecans , chopped (or sub with oats)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey or golden syrup)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 cup brown sugar , packed
- 75 g / 5 tbsp unsalted butter , melted
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
- Mix Filling ingredients together then set aside while you prep the apples – it will firm up and become scoopable (pop in fridge if its super hot where you are).
- Cut the apples in half through the core then use an ice cream scooper, spoon or small knife to scoop out the core (see video).
- Place apples in a baking dish so they are reasonably snug – you don’t want heaps of space around them. Pile Filling on the apples – I use an ice cream scoop.
- Mix cornflour with a splash of the water, mix to dissolve, then add remaining water. Pour around the apples.
- Cover with foil, bake 20 minutes. Remove foil, then bake a further 20 minutes until the crumb is deep golden and the apples are tender (but not sloppy soft) and there’s a syrupy caramel in the pan (it thickens a bit more when serving).
- To serve, spoon over caramel sauce, then top with ice cream and serve with more sauce!
Notes
1. You need to use juicy apples for this recipe as juices from the apples leach out while baking, forming part of the sauce. So if your apples aren’t that juicy, you’ll be disappointed with dry baked apples. 🙁 I created this recipe for Modi Apples which are ideal – super juicy, great apple flavour, nice size. They’re only available at Coles here in Australia (at this stage!)
2. The thickness of the sauce at the end will be affected by how large your apples are. It’s an easy fix – if too thick, add a spoonful of hot water, if too thin, take apples out, give it a mix, pop back in oven for a minute or two to thicken.
3. Make ahead: Rub cut side of apples with lemon (stops from browning), top with Filling then set aside until ready to bake. You can even leave it overnight - but pour the cornflour water mixture around just before baking because the cornflour settles if you leave it out for ages.
4. Servings: In all honesty, I'm happy with one piece as a dessert with ice cream, but if you're a dessert monster, you might want 2 pieces! Nutrition is for 1 piece, assuming all sauce used, ice cream not included.
