Ingredients:
- 4 large, firm, tart apples
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup yogurt
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions:
-
Begin by selecting a large, firm, tart apple for optimal results. Ida Red or Northern Spy apples work best, but a Cortland variety can also be used. Note that if you opt for a McIntosh apple, it is crucial to reduce the cooking time to prevent overcooking.
-
Core the apples and remove the top inch of peel. To prevent the skin from bursting during baking, make a shallow cut through the skin around the center of each apple.
-
Arrange the prepared apples upright in a baking dish or pie plate.
-
In a small bowl, create a delightful mixture by combining brown sugar, raisins, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This flavorful blend will be the heart of your baked apples.
-
Spoon the brown sugar and spice mixture into the centers of each apple, ensuring an even distribution of the delicious filling.
-
Add water to the baking dish, covering the bottom. This step contributes moisture to the baking process.
-
Bake the apples, uncovered, in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). The baking time varies depending on the apple variety. For less firm apples, bake for 25 to 30 minutes. If you’re working with a firmer variety, extend the baking time to 50 minutes or until the apples are tender when pierced with a toothpick.
-
While the apples are baking, prepare the irresistible Maple Yogurt Sauce. In a separate bowl, combine yogurt and maple syrup. This heavenly sauce will complement the sweetness of the baked apples.
-
Once the apples are perfectly baked, remove them from the oven, and drizzle the luscious Maple Yogurt Sauce over each apple.
-
Serve your Baked Apples with Maple Yogurt Sauce warm and enjoy the delightful harmony of flavors and textures.
