How Do You Make A Baked Apple?
A baked apple is a simple, delicious and time-old recipe that has been cooked for many centuries or as the New York Times once put it, “dates back as far as fire and apples”.[1] This recipe is for the traditional version of a baked apple, which tends to always include raisins and spices, along with some form of traditional sweetener such as sugar or a syrup. You can bake your apple(s) in an oven or cook by microwave. Both methods are provided here. • Core each apple. Medium-sized apples are usually best, since you don’t want a tiny treat, but too large an apple will take a long time to cook. Use a melon baller to core the apple. Leave the flower end on as a bottom. Score the skin, making the skin easier to eat. • Cut the skin around the top of the “core hole”. The core hole is the hollowed out space where the core sat. Cut the skin about an inch / 2.5 cm around the core hole. Place each apple in a suitably sized baking dish (microwave or oven-proof depending on method you will choose).
