Tangy Baked Apples Recipes

SPICED BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Combine raisins, nuts and orange zest; set aside. In a saucepan, bring brown sugar, water, butter, cinnamon and nutmeg to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Core apples and place in an ungreased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish; fill with raisin mixture. Pour sugar mixture over and around apples. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until apples are tender. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

SPICED BAKED APPLES

TANGY BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Cut apples in half lengthwise; remove cores. Brush with 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Place in an ungreased 11x7-in. baking dish. Combine the brown sugar, ketchup, butter, horseradish and remaining lemon juice. Top each apple half with 2 tablespoons ketchup mixture. Pour water around apples., Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 30 minutes or until apples are tender. Serve warm.

BAKED APPLE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Generously butter a large baking sheet.
• On a cutting board, turn an apple on its side and cut into very thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick. (I used a mandolin.) Using a small cookie cutter, cut the core out of each apple slice and discard.
• Spread the apple slices out in one layer on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake for 30 minutes, flip the apple pieces over, and bake for another 30-50 minutes until crisp. Depending on how evenly you sliced the apples, some may be done sooner than others. If so, remove the thinner ones when they are brown and crisp and allow the thicker ones additional time in the oven.

SWEET AND TANGY APPLE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix brown sugar, honey mustard, mustard powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder together in a small bowl; rub onto pork chops and let sit on a plate for flavors to dissolve into pork chops, about 10 minutes.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add apple cider. Arrange coated pork chops in the skillet; cook until pork chops are browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
