How to Make This Delightful Recipe
Let’s dive into the step-by-step instructions for making Oven Baked
Bloomin Apples:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash the apples thoroughly to ensure they are clean and ready for baking.
- Use an apple corer to remove the core, including the seeds, creating a hollow in the center of each apple.
- Next, with a small knife, carefully cut two concentric circles around the well to create a beautiful “bloomin onion” look.
- Flip the apple over, cut side down, and slice 1/2 inch slits around the apple, starting 1/2 inch below the top.
- Place each apple in a casserole dish, cut side up, and spoon a tablespoon of caramel sauce into the center of each apple.
- In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave for 40-45 seconds.
- Stir in the light brown sugar and ground cinnamon until they dissolve into the butter, forming a thick glaze.
- Evenly spoon the glaze over each apple.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the apples are soft and tender. Keep an eye on them, as cooking times may vary depending on the apple variety.
- Serve these warm delights with vanilla ice cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and an extra drizzle of caramel sauce!
