The best tasting baked apples you'll ever eat! || Worthing Court

Raise your hand if you can tell me what is synonymous with fall.  Well, besides the awesome cooler temps and beautiful fall foliage.  I’m talking apples, y’all.  I love ’em and now’s the best time of year to enjoy them!

While it isn’t officially fall yet, it is September 1st and that means fall to me!  So to celebrate fall’s arrival and the start of apple season,  I’m sharing the hands down best baked apple recipe that I’ve ever eaten.  And on a side note, if you’ve never tried Honeycrisp apples, you are definitely missing out.  They’re a bit more expensive that other apple varieties, but oh let me tell you – they are so, so worth it.  They’re everything that their name implies – sweet and crisp!

For some strange reason, I always shied away from making baked apples.  I can only guess that they sounded too complicated to mess with.  Well, they aren’t – at least this recipe isn’t!  I’m sorry that I waited so long to give them a try.

    Bless you, Marisa. I hope you do give them a try. Let me know how you like them. I gave up making submissions to Foodgawker – it was too frustrating for me!

    Hi Helen. That’s a good way for me to think about it – they look ooey-gooey! And you’re right, the skin does look like puff pastry. I’m convinced that the perfectly baked apples that you see pictures of are taken out of the oven before they’re completely done. I hated that mine lost their pretty red color once they were completely baked.

    Those looks delicious – especially the one with the scoop of ice cream. This is a different recipe and sounds really yummy. I’m pinning it.

    My parents always made baked apples in the fall – one of the many traditions I miss! I never thought to learn how to make them, but then again, I never thought I’d loose my parents as a young adult either… Thank you for sharing the baked apple recipe, you brought up a wonderful memory and motivation to bake some this fall!

    Thank you for this wonderful recipe! I wonder if you could use the apple that you scooped out in the stuffing mixture?

        Using small pieces of chopped apple in the brown sugar mix is exactly what the picture looks like…unless those are light raisins? I don’t know…but the picture certainly shows something else besides what is called for in the recipe.

    I both pinned this and printed the recipe out. It looks adorable and hopefully will taste just as good. I’ll probably sub raisins for the cranberries (have raisins on hand). If this turns out as well as I hope, I’ve got a new dessert for company.

    Oh, love baked apples, and HoneyCrisp even more! They are SO expensive here in Dallas right now, but I’ll have to splurge to try this recipe! I had thought about using the cut off top diced into the mix, OR a little snack for the baker, maybe?!
    Thanks, Suzy ~ this looks so very yummy! And it would be a beautiful dessert for company, esp. with ice cream & a little drizzle of caramel!!!

    Hi Suzy,
    I’m at a bit late at this recipe but I can’t wait to make them this week for my family. Definitely adding the ice cream! Chris
