Cinnamon Sugar Apples

This recipe was basically my own creation, inspired by some things I have seen on the Internet. They are super easy

Ingredients*:

  • Apples of any kind that are good for baking (take the number you want to make and divide by 2)
  • Brown Sugar
  • Cinnamon
  • Butter**
  • Water**
*=amount will vary


Instructions:

  1. Start by washing your apples and making sure they are free of any stickers.
  2. Preheat the oven to about 325.
  3. Cut the apples in half. Cut them so that you do not half the stem but instead make a star with the seeds. (So, along what would be the equator, if it were Earth...?) I suppose it would work the other way but I have nevar tried it....
  4. Take out the seeds and core of the apple, just so it makes a bowl in the center. (I use a melonballer for this)
  5. Place the apples on a baking sheet or dish with a lip on the edges with the fleshy side up. Sprinkle cinnamon over the exposed flesh of the apples.
  6. Take about a teaspoon or so of brown sugar and fill the bowl-like hole in the apple.
  7. **Butter. (Okay, this one might get a little complicated sounding, but it's not.) Cut the butter from the bar thinly so you have about or less than a teaspoon. Now, cut that teaspoon-ish square into four smaller squares so that you have about or less than a fourth of a teaspoon. Place one of those tiny fourth-of-a-teaspoon-ish squares on each of the apples, right on top of the brown sugar.
  8. **Pour some warm water into the bottom of the baking device so that it just covers the pan. This will keep the apples a little less dry. 
  9. Bake at 350 until the apples are tender and the sugar is melted.
