Bubbee And Me Baked Candy Apples Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Using a vegetable peeler, remove a wide strip of peel from the top of each apple. Using an apple corer, scoop out and discard all traces of the core, being careful not to make the cavity too large or to pierce the bottom of the apples.2. Arrange the apples in a glass baking dish large enough to easily hold them. Using clean fingers, smoosh a piece of butter down into the cavity of each apple. Then divide the 2/3 cup imperials among the cavities, reserving 2 to 3 tablespoons. Pour the orange juice into the bottom of the baking dish and sprinkle the reserved imperials over the juice.3. Bake, uncovered, basting occasionally with the juice until the apples are tender when pierced with a knife, about 40 minutes. (If desired, during the last 5 minutes of baking, garnish the apples with the reserved "red hots.") Remove from the oven and drizzle some of the baking juices over each apple. Serve with a little of the sauce poured around each apple.From Holiday Baking. Text copyright © 2005 by Sara Perry. Photographs copyright © 2005 by Leigh Beisch. All rights reserved.

Steps:

• Remove the stalks from the apples, then put them in a heatproof bowl and pour over boiling water from the kettle to cover them and leave for 3-4 mins. Remove with a slotted spoon and pat dry. (This removes the protective wax from the skin and makes the toffee stick to the apples better.)
• Push the sharpest end of each stick into the stalk-end of each apple, making sure it's firmly wedged in. Put a large piece of baking parchment on a board.
• Tip the sugar into a large saucepan, add the lemon juice and 100ml water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sugar has dissolved. Swirl the pan gently to move the sugar around, but don't stir. Add the golden syrup and simmer the mixture (be careful it doesn't boil over) until it reaches 'hard crack' stage or 150C on a sugar thermometer. If you don't have a thermometer, test the toffee by dropping a small amount into cold water. It should harden instantly and, when removed, be brittle. If it's soft, continue to boil. When it's ready, drip in some food colouring, if you like, and swirl to combine. Turn off the heat.
• Working quickly, dip each apple into the toffee, tipping the pan to cover it fully. Lift out and allow any excess to drip off back into the pan before placing on the baking parchment. Repeat with the remaining apples. Gently heat the toffee again, if you need to. Leave to set. Best eaten on the same day.

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:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Peel skin off top third of each apple. Using small melon baller, scoop out stem and core, leaving bottom intact. Stand apples in 11x7x2-inch baking dish. Place 2 tablespoons toffee bits around apples in dish. Divide remaining bits among cavities of apples. Add 1/2 tablespoon bourbon and 1/2 tablespoon butter to cavity of each apple. Whisk cider, molasses, sugar and ginger in bowl; spoon over and around apples.
• Bake apples until tender, basting often with pan juices, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Transfer apples to bowls. Pour juices from dish into small saucepan. Boil juices until thick enough to coat spoon, about 6 minutes. Spoon sauce over apples. Serve apples warm with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place apples on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, carefully cut the top 1/2 inch from the top of each.
• Using an apple corer or a small melon baller, scoop out the stem, core and seeds from each apple, leaving the bottom intact. Stand the apples in a 9 inch square baking dish, cut side up.
• Divide 1/4 cup each chopped Snickers and Skor/Heath bar candy bars among the apples, about 2 tablespoons of candy per apple.
• Place 1 1/2 teaspoon of butter inside each apple, on top of the candy bar pieces. Then divide the remainder 1/4 cup chopped candy bars among the apples.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the cider and sugar and pour mixture over and around the apples. Carefully place baking dish in the oven and bake the apples uncovered until tender, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. (Original recipes states 1 hour and 20 minutes, but if cooked too long the apples become mealy. Start checking around 45 minutes.) Remove from oven and let sit 5 minutes.
• Serve hot or warm, spoon the pan juices over apples and add vanilla ice cream 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.
