Cinnamon Baked Apples
A delicious and comforting dessert that makes use of expired but safe apples. The baking process ensures the apples are thoroughly cooked and safe to consume.
Ingredients
- 4 expired but still firm apples
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup water
- Optional: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Core the apples and place them in a baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the apples.
Place a small piece of butter on top of each apple.
Pour water into the bottom of the baking dish to prevent the apples from drying out.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the tops of the apples to caramelize slightly.
Serve the baked apples warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
