This recipe brought back memories of baked apples simmering on my grandmother's stove. That smell was so comforting and sent such a wonderful aroma throughout the kitchen. Not only were they good back then but this recipe proved just as tasty. I think the slow cooking on the stove was the key to the aroma filling the kitchen, which the short time cook in the microwave couldn't duplicate. However, the taste was great and brought back many memories. It was easy and quick. I did add the chopped walnuts and thought that was a great suggestion and cooked one Fuji apple in a covered container for 4 minutes and it turned out perfect.

This recipe worked out very well, and was delicious. Instead of leaving the apples whole, I sliced them, tossed them with other ingredients. That way it only took the 15 min cooking time. Thanks for the recipe!

Very yummy flavor. I have the apples to make it easier. Easy and tasty.

Great! I did slice/core the apples before cooking but that was the only change I made. Topped with a spoonful of whipped cream! Whole family loved it!

I always bake these with no butter. Just sugar, cinnamon, and allspice in the well. I cover the apple in tin foil. You're left with the juices from the apple brewing in the core with crispy bits of cinnamon sugar in the flesh of the apple. The best way to eat an apple in my opinion :) The worst part, is that you have to wait for these to cool before you can dig in. But always worth it!

It was good but i changed alot... i used brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice as the filling. filled it half way put a small amount of butter inside then packed it the rest of the way. I then put a bit of butter on the top. For the pan i put in orange/pineapple juice with vanilla,little butter and a tbls of cornstarch to help it thicken...they turned out GREAT!! I also cut an inch of skin off around the entire apple...i did half cored all the way through and half not cored completely and they both tasted great.

Godd and easy, but definitely took longer than 15 minutes.

Great Apples Like Mom Made. I did make a few changes: I used Rome apples (best for this type baking) I peeled a little peel away from top of apple, I poured parkay buttery spray(fat-free)over top letting a bit flow over outside and inside apple. I put a spoonful of brown sugar into center, sprinkled with apple pie spice and then poured about a tablespoon of honey over each apple. I baked at 350 for 20 minutes. Take out of over and using turkey baster pick up juice and pour over the apples filling the hole. I baked for another 15 minutes and basted with juices again. I put them into oven for the last 15 minutes and baste again when they came out of the oven. The juice gets a bit thicker each time and when cooled...so keep basting. They look pretty and taste GREAT.

My boyfriend loves apples in any form, and he really enjoyed this recipe. I used two very large Fuji apples for this recipe (which cored easily), and poked holes all through the apple with a sharp knife before filling them with the butter and sugar mixture. I sprinkled a bit of cinnamon on top. I had to adjust the baking time to 45 minutes due to the size of the apples, but they turned out wonderfully as-is. Next time I might use a little less butter, and hopefully I'll have some vanilla ice cream on hand :)

So Yummy.... This will make a great replacement for apple pie. However, a full apple was a little to much for me so I cut it in half and shared it with a friend.

I love baked apples but this recipe just didn't work for us. We followed the recipe exactly as written but filling ended up just a watery mess.

I had to cook them 30 minutes (not 15), and like someone previously stated: the dish doesn't look pretty when done, but the flavor was REALLY good. I had added water to the bottom of the dish, and that helped "soften" the skins. I think I will make these again, but next time I'll actually cut the apples in half, then make a well in the center to fill with the sugar/butter mix...

The apples were still very crunchy after 15 minutes in the oven. I needed to put them back in the oven for another 10 minutes to get the desired effect of a baked apple. Otherwise, they didi taste very good!!!

I took the other suggestions listed and put water in the bottom along with the part of the apples I cored out. It took 45" with foil over them to cook. I added pecans and raisins. There isn't enough filling for 4 apples, just 3. It isn't a pretty dish, but tastes really good!

I make these by cutting the apples in half, creating a well where the core was, and using splenda plus cinnamon and butter, definitely need to be baked at 350 for 30 minutes though. This is a really good low cal dessert!

Great Recipe! I added a little nutmeg and walnuts, put apple juice in the bottom of the pan, and used braeburn apples. Yum! Served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some carmel topping. ;)

My Mom used to make these for me when I was growing up:) I just love them:) Thanks for sharing your recipe:)

Simple, delicious. Add a little Ceylon Cinnamon and it's perfect. Use a melon-ball scoop and it's as easy as 1-2-3.
