Gingered Baked Apples Recipes

EASY BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Arrange the apples into a baking dish with the cut sides facing down. Pour the orange beverage over the apples.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the apples are tender, about 1 hour.

BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C).
• Using a handheld or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, or simply using a fork or spoon, beat/mash the butter, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together until combined. Stir in the oats, then the raisins/dried cranberries/nuts, if using. Set aside.
• This can be tricky, but I recommend using a sharp paring knife and a spoon. (Or an apple corer.) I find cookie scoops can easily break or crack the apples. Using a sharp paring knife, cut around the core, about halfway or 3/4 down into the apple. Use a spoon to carefully dig out the core. Takes a bit of patience and arm muscle. Once the core is out, use a spoon to dig out any more seeds.
• Place cored apples in an 8-inch or 9-inch baking pan, cake pan, or pie dish. Spoon filling into each apple, filling all the way to the top. Pour warm water into the pan around the apples. The water helps prevent the apples from drying out and burning.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes or until apples appear slightly soft. Bake longer for softer, mushier baked apples. The time depends on how firm your apples were and how soft you want them to be.
• Remove apples from the oven and, if desired, baste the outside of the apples with juices from the pan. This adds a little moisture to the skin, but it's completely optional.
• Serve warm with salted caramel, whipped cream, or ice cream. Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

BAKED APPLES WITH PRUNES, CINNAMON & GINGER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Using a sharp knife, score a line around the equator of each apple. Put them into a baking dish with a small splash of water in the bottom.
• In a bowl, combine the ginger, cinnamon, prunes and sugar. Stuff the mixture into the apples so that they are well packed. Top each with a knob of butter and bake for 35-40 mins, or until cooked through. To test, pierce with a sharp knife - it should slide straight through. The apples can be cooked up to a day ahead, then warmed through in the oven or microwave before eating.
• Remove from the oven and baste the apples with the liquid left in the dish. Serve hot or warm with the ice cream.

EASY CINNAMON BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and set out a 9x13-inch (or similar size) baking dish.
• Peel and core apples, quarter, and use a paring knife to thinly slice lengthwise (see photo). The thinner the better! Just try to be consistent so they cook evenly.
• Add to baking dish and top with lemon juice, coconut oil (optional), coconut sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cornstarch (or arrowroot), apple juice (or water), and a healthy pinch of salt. Toss to combine. Then loosely cover with foil.
• Bake for 45 minutes (covered). Then carefully remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the apples are very fork tender (especially in the center of the dish) and slightly caramelized (see photo).
• Enjoy as is or with Coconut Whipped Cream or Vanilla Bean Coconut Ice Cream! Best when fresh, though leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator up to 3-4 days or in the freezer up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave or in a 350-degree F (176 C) oven (covered) until warmed through. Add a bit of water if the "caramel" sauce is too thick.

10-MINUTE GINGER CAKE "BAKED" APPLES

Steps:

• Using a spoon, remove enough of the interior of each apple so that the walls are about 1/2-inch thick all around, including the bottom, and there's enough of a well for the cake batter. Place the apples in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave the apples until just warm, 20 to 40 seconds, then remove and set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, milk, vegetable oil, and maple syrup in a medium bowl until just combined. Spoon or pour the batter inside the apples, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top of each. Microwave the apples in the same microwave-safe dish until the batter rises and sets, about 2 minutes 20 seconds. Dust the top edges of the apples with a little fleur-de-sel and let cool slightly, then serve with Apple Cider Caramel Sauce and vanilla ice cream.
• Mix the sugar and lemon juice in a deep nonstick saucepan, place over medium heat and cover. Have a pastry brush and a small bowl of water nearby to brush the sides of the pot of any granules of sugar.
• When the sugar starts to brown, swirl the pan to ensure even browning until the sugar is amber in color, 5 to 6 minutes. Pour in the apple cider -- step back, because there will be sputtering.
• Add the butter. Swirl the pan to melt the butter, then add the heavy cream, cinnamon and ginger. Remove from the heat. The caramel will continue to thicken off the heat. Stir before serving. Makes 1 1/2 cups. Can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently on the stove top or in the microwave.
