Salt Baked Stuffed Apples Recipes

BAKED STUFFED APPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cut the stem out of the apple and hollow out the center until it is about 1 1/2 inches wide without going through the bottom. In a small cup, stir together the cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar. Set aside half of this mixture, and mix the rest with the cream cheese and dried cranberries.
• Sprinkle some of the reserved cinnamon sugar into the apple's cavity. Fill with the cream cheese mixture, and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar on the top. Place the apple in a small baking dish.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the apple is tender enough to easily pierce with a fork.

BAKED STUFFED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix cranberries, almonds, butter, brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a bowl. Fill each apple cavity evenly with the mixture and place in a baking dish. Add water to the leftover filling and pour around apples.
• Bake in the preheated oven, basting twice with the liquid from the baking dish, until apples are tender, 50 to 60 minutes. Serve warm.

BAKED STUFFED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly browned and fragrant, about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Working from the stem end, use a melon baller to remove the core from each apple, scooping out the stem and seeds making a deep hole for filling: work to within about 1/2-inch of the bottom of the apple. (Alternatively, remove the core with an apple corer and widen the hole with a small spoon.) Peel the skin from the top half of each apple. In a small bowl, blend together the brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. Mix in the walnuts. Spoon equal amounts of the filling into the centers of the apples. Set the filled apples in an 8-inch square baking pan or other baking pan just large enough to hold them snugly. In a small pan over medium heat, warm the honey with apple juice, stirring until the honey dissolves. Pour around the apples. Spoon some of the liquid over the sides of the apples to moisten them, but do not spoon over the tops. Bake, basting the sides once or twice with the pan juices, until the apples are tender when pierced, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool, and serve in bowls with the pan juices spooned over the tops.

SALT-BAKED STUFFED APPLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Squeeze lemon juice into a medium bowl filled with cold water. Using a sharp knife, remove stem from each apple. Using a melon baller, remove cores and hollow out apples until walls are about 3/4 inch thick. Place apples in water.
• Place walnuts on a baking pan; toast until fragrant and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Let the walnuts cool, and roughly chop.
• Place walnuts, cranberries, ginger, apricots, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl.
• Drain apples; spoon walnut filling into each cavity, packing fairly tightly. Place apples in a baking dish just large enough to hold them all. Add salt, being careful not to get any salt in the filling; fill until the salt covers the apples up to where the filling begins. Cover with a sheet of aluminum foil.
• Bake until apples are tender and start to pull away from salt, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly. Remove apples from salt; serve.

EASIEST EVER BAKED STUFFED APPLES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Trim the tops and scoop out the center and the seeds of each apple and rub the edges of the trimmed fruit with the lemon. In a medium bowl, combine the butter, cereal, sugar, and walnuts. Fill the apples with the cereal mixture. Set the apples upright in muffin tins and bake until tender and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Transfer to serving dishes, top with ice cream and serve hot.

STUFFED BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Cut off the top of four apples and remove the hearts.
• Chop the pecans and the extra apple into small pieces. In a small bowl, mix the apple and the pecans with cinnamon and sugar. Add the vanilla and the egg and whisk them for a few seconds.
• Fill the four apples with the pecan mix.
• Bake the apples in a preheated oven (350°F) for 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle some powdered sugar to decorate.

SAVOURY BAKED STUFFED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375°F.
• Peel, core and chop 1 apple into 1/3-inch pieces. Set aside.
• Cut one-fourth off the top of the remaining apples and discard the tops. Using a melon baller or a spoon, hollow out the apples, leaving 1/3 inch of the flesh on the inside. Set aside.
• In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a large bowl.
• In the same pan, combine the celery, onion and chopped apple and sauté until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the celery mixture, the thyme, sage, parsley and bread cubes to the bowl with the sausage, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Spoon the stuffing into the apples, packing it lightly. Arrange the apples in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until the apples are tender and the stuffing is golden on top, 15 to 20 minutes more. Serve immediately.

BAKED STUFFED APPLES

Steps:

• In a bowl, stir together both zests, orange juice, raisins, and Cognac; cover, and let stand at room temperature 8 hours, or up to 1 day.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with a rack in the center. Stir nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and mace into raisin mixture. With a small melon baller, core apples, starting at stem end and leaving blossom end intact. Stand cored apples on a baking sheet lined with a nonstick baking mat, and fill each one with raisin mixture, dividing evenly. Bake until base of an apple is tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 25 to 45 minutes, depending on size and variety. Cool apples on baking sheet on a wire rack.
• Fit a large pastry bag with an open-star tip (such as #18) and fill with Swiss meringue. Pipe a rosette on top of each apple. Using a small kitchen torch, carefully brown edges of the meringue. (Alternatively, place meringue-topped apples under the broiler until golden, 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.)
• Spoon about 3 tablespoons creme anglaise onto each of 8 dessert plates. Transfer chocolate creme anglaise to a small pastry bag fitted with a plain fine tip (or place in a small sturdy plastic bag and snip off corner). Starting at the outside and working toward the center of the plate, pipe a spiral pattern, leaving about 1/4 inch between each curved line. To create the spider-web design, drag the tip of a sharp knife in radiating lines through the chocolate spiral, working from the center of the plate out, and spacing about 1/2 inch apart. Place a meringue-topped apple in the center of each plate, and serve immediately.

SAUSAGE-STUFFED BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• In a skillet, cook sausage and onion until sausage is not longer pink and onion is tender; drain and cool slightly. Core apples; cut in half horizontally. Place in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. In a bowl, combine egg and brown sugar; stir in sausage mixture. Spoon into the apples. Cover and bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 minutes more or until apples are tender. Serve with syrup.
