Easy, delicious Baked Cinnamon Apples recipe. Fresh apples are stuffed with a cinnamon sugar butter mixture, then baked until tender and juicy. Bonus: Your home will smell amazing!
Carefully, slice the top off each apple, making an apple top. Cut out the core and seeds from each apple, leaving a well in the middle. You do not want to cut all the way through the apple so make sure there is still a base. Place the apples in a 8x8 baking dish.
Stuff each apple with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Place 1 teaspoon of butter on top of the brown sugar in each apple. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. Optional: Love nuts? Add some chopped pecans or walnuts on top of each apple now. Add the top of each apple back on.
Cover the bottom of the baking dish with a small amount of water to lightly cover it. Add 1 tablespoon vanilla to the water.
Bake in oven for 45 minutes. Serve and enjoy! Optional: serve with whipped cream or ice cream on top!
