These baked apples with brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon are super easy to make for a comforting and cozy, gluten-free dessert. Serve warm as-is or with vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- 4 apples , such as Golden Delicious or Honey Crisp
- 0.5 cups packed dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter , cut into 4 pieces

Gather all ingredients, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Using an apple corer, a melon baller, or a teaspoon, remove core from the top of each apple, making sure not to go all the way to the bottom, leaving about 1 ½ inches from the bottom of the apple.

Stir sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a small bowl until evenly combined. Stuff each apple with 2 tablespoons brown sugar mixture.

Place apples in an 8-inch square baking dish. Top each apple with 1 piece of butter; pour boiling water to a depth of 1/4-inch in the bottom of the dish. Cover with foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake, uncovered, until sugar begins to caramelize and apples are tender when pierced with a paring knife, 20 to 25 minutes more.

Bavarian-Style Apple Torte
This recipe is one of my family's favorites. It's similar to a cheesecake but much better. I get many requests for the recipe.
Tabitha's Homemade Wheat Bread
This whole wheat bread has a really good taste depending on your flour. I think King Arthur® is the best! This bread has cocoa and coffee in it. It can be made by hand, or use your bread machine's dough setting to knead and rise, then bake it in the oven. If you are not feeling bold you can leave out the cocoa and coffee and add some nuts. Have fun! Form into a freehand loaf or place into a greased loaf pan.
Creamy Chicken on Linguine
This chicken linguine features sliced white meat in a creamy onion sauce layered on pasta. It's good reheated the next day, too. Serve with garlic toast or bruschetta.
