Baked Candied Apples Recipes

Steps:

• Place apples in 8- or 9-inch microwaveable pie plate; sprinkle evenly with dry gelatin mix and cinnamon. Cover tightly with plastic wrap; turn back 1 corner to vent.
• Microwave on HIGH 4 min. or until apples are tender.
• Spoon liquid from bottom of dish over apples. Sprinkle with cereal.

Steps:

• Lightly grease cookie sheets. Insert craft sticks into whole, stemmed apples.
• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Heat to 300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 154 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads. Remove from heat and stir in food coloring.
• Holding apple by its stick, dip in syrup and remove and turn to coat evenly. Place on prepared sheets to harden.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Scoop out the core from top of the apple, leaving a well. Do not cut all the way through. Stuff each apple with 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1 tablespoon butter. Place in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle with cinnamon.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, until sugar begins to caramelize and apples are tender.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch square pan.
• Remove and reserve tops of apples. Core the apples, leaving approximately 1/2 inch at the bottom. Arrange in the baking dish.
• In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon red hot candies and cinnamon. Fill each apple with the mixture. Replace apple tops. Sprinkle remaining mixture over the apples.
• Bake uncovered in the preheated oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until apples are tender.

Steps:

• Center a rack in the oven and heat to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, and set a 9- or 10-inch glass pie dish on top.
• Cut a small cap off the top of each apple, and set aside. Using a paring knife or corer, core the apples, making sure not to go all the way to the bottom. Cut away and reserve about 1/2 inch of peel around the tops of the apples. Rub the peeled portions of the apples with the lemon, squeezing a little juice into each opening.
• Fill each apple with an equal amount of dried apple and ginger, if using, pressing down lightly as needed to push bits into the opening. Pour 1/2 teaspoon honey over the dried fruit in each apple. Cut the butter into 4 pieces, and top each apple with a pat. Pop the caps back on the apples. (It's O.K. if they teeter). Transfer the apples, lemon wedges and a few of the reserved peels into the pie dish; pour in the cider or juice, and stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons honey. (The honey won't blend evenly into the cider, and that's fine.)
• Bake the apples, basting occasionally with the cider and honey, until you can poke them with a skewer or the tip of a knife and not meet much resistance, 50 to 70 minutes. Since apples are so variable, check early and often, as you might need more or less time.
• Let them cool for at least 15 minutes before serving moistened with a little pan sauce, and if you want, top with cold heavy cream, whipped cream or ice cream and dust with cinnamon. The apples are good warm or at room temperature. They'll keep, covered, for 2 days in the refrigerator and can be reheated in a microwave.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Toss apple, pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Alternate layers of coated apple and cut yams in an 11x7-inch pan. Dot with margarine and cover.
• Bake in the preheated oven until reduced and bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes. Cover with marshmallows and continue to bake until golden, 10 to 20 minutes more.

Steps:

• Peel apples and cut in half lengthwise; remove cores. In a large saucepan over medium heat, bring the water, sugar and candies to a boil, stirring constantly until sugar and candies are dissolved. Reduce heat; carefully add apples. Cook, uncovered, until apples are tender, about 8 minutes., With a slotted spoon, transfer apples to a serving dish; pour syrup over apples. Serve warm or chilled. Garnish with mint if desired.

Steps:

• With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
• In a bowl, combine all the ingredients except the apples. Set aside.
• Slice a thin layer off the top of each apple. Using a melon baller, dig out the core, leaving the bottom intact. Make a horizontal cut through the peel around each apple so the fruit doesn't burst when baking.
• Place the apples on a 33 x 23-cm (13 x 9-inch) baking dish. Divide the oat mixture among the apples, spooning it into the hollows and mounding it on the tops. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the oat mixture is lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Cool to room temperature. Serve as is or with vanilla ice cream.
