Whether it’s apple pie, apple ice cream, or caramel apples, apples are certainly on the menu this fall season. Twisted Butter’s Chef and Owner Jane Johnson brings you another delicious apple recipe to try, using TWISTED Cinnamon, Honey & Brown Sugar Butter. Enjoy the swirl of apple, brown sugar, rum and cinnamon in this baked apple dish. Top it off with yummy rum raisin or vanilla ice cream to make it an extra special fall treat.
Ingredients
- The Glaze:
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup dark rum
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 whole cloves
- The Apples:
- 6 small to medium apples, preferably a sturdy variety like Rome or Granny Smith, washed and cored
- 6 cinnamon sticks
- 4 tablespoons TWISTED Cinnamon, Honey & Brown Sugar Butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup unsweetened apple cider
- Rum raisin ice cream, optional
Directions
- For the glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine the dark brown sugar, rum, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves. Stir to blend and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and reduce for 3 to 4 minutes to allow the sugar and other ingredients to blend together.
- For the apples: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a baking dish large enough to hold all of the apples, arrange the apples in a single layer. Put a cinnamon stick inside the cavity made from coring each apple. Pour the glaze over the apples and top each with pieces of butter. Add the cider to the bottom of the dish and place it in the center of the oven.
- Cook the apples, basting them from time to time, until they are tender but not mushy, 25 to 30 minutes (smaller apples will take less time). Serve with scoops of ice cream, sour cream, or just by themselves. They are also delicious leftover.
