My Mom's Baked Apples

My Mom's Baked Apples

Cinnamon-sugar sprinkled over baked apple pieces; delicious hot or cold!

9 servings

9 cooking apples (anything except Red Delicious will work)
3/4 cup water
lemon juice, optional
3-4 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon

1. Peel apples. Cut each apple in half and remove the core.

2. Place apples core-side-up in a 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Pour a little water into the dish -- about 3/4 cup -- so that there's a thin layer on the bottom.

3. If apples are not very tart, sprinkle with lemon juice. For tart apples, skip this step.

4. Sprinkle each apple half with about 1/2 teaspoon sugar.

5. Sprinkle cinnamon over apples.

6. Bake uncovered in a pre-heated 325 degree oven for 25-35 minutes or until apples test tender with a fork. Serve hot or cold, or over ice cream!

If your apples aren't very good, just cut apples into fourths, remove bad spots, and toss into the dish.

Nice easy recipe
I made this with the kids yesterday, and we had the apples over ice cream for a treat after dinner. They tasted wonderful. The only reason I gave the recipe a 9 instead of 10 was that the cooking time was much longer than 35 minutes. I don't know how much longer, because I kept putting them in for another 5-10 minutes and checking them. But there's something about that apple/cinnamon/vanilla ice cream combination that's just out of this world...
