How to make Stuffed Baked Apples

Let’s start by choosing which apples are perfect for baking, because not all apples will bake that great and hold their shape, without getting mushy. I have used Pink Lady apples, my favorites. I love their firm, crisp flesh combined with the sweet, very little tangy flavor.

What types of apples are good for baking:

• Crispin
• Pink Lady
• Fuji
• Braeburn
• Honeycrisp
• Granny Smith

All these above mentioned apple types have more starch than other types, they are firmer and will hold up their shape when baked.

Now, let’s see how to bake apples in the oven

I like to bake apples the traditional way and have them cored, stuffed with topping in the middle and just pop them in the oven. Of course, if you prefer a higher topping quantity with your baked apples, you can halve them, add desired amount of topping and bake them this way.

Preheat oven to 350F/180C, prepare your apples (use an apple corer to remove the core from each apple and trim with a small knife a small part from the top of each apple. Place cored apples in a baking dish, add the filling and bake for almost 45 minutes.

Of course, the most exciting part when serving these Easy Apple Crisp Stuffed Baked Apples is pouring the thick butterscotch sauce over! It is a MUST! and the scoop of vanilla ice cream too 🙂

It is like having a piece of fall heaven on a plate!
