What You’ll Need

To make these delectable Oven Baked Bloomin Apples, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 4 Honeycrisp apples
  • 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons of light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup of caramel sauce
  • Extra toppings: Vanilla ice cream, cinnamon, and additional caramel sauce

Easy Steps to Deliciousness

Follow these simple steps to create your own Oven Baked Bloomin Apples:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Wash the apples thoroughly, ensuring they are nice and clean before cooking.
  3. Use an apple corer to remove the core and seeds from the center of each apple, creating a well.
  4. Create the “blooming” effect by carefully cutting two concentric circles into the apple around the well, being careful not to slice through the bottom.
  5. Flip the apple over and cut 1/2 inch slits all the way around about 1/2 inch down from the top.
  6. Place the apples in a casserole dish, cut side up, and spoon a tablespoon of caramel sauce into the well of each apple.
  7. Melt the butter in the microwave, then stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon to create a thick glaze. Spoon the glaze evenly over each apple.
  8. Bake the apples for 25-30 minutes until they are soft and tender. Remember, cooking times may vary depending on the type and size of the apples.
  9. Serve the Oven Baked Bloomin Apples warm, accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Don’t forget to drizzle some extra caramel sauce for added indulgence!
