Brown Sugar and Pecan Baked Apples

Our local apple farm put all their apples on sale for $1 a pound!! I bought a lot!! And with some of them I made dessert. Well, we ate it all in one sitting so I guess it was more like a meal – In any case, it was so good!!

Here’s How to Bake some Apples:

Make the whipped cream first. Hand whisk (or shake) the cream and sugar until it’s thickened but still a little loose. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Preheat the oven to 350° –

Quarter and core the apples, no need to peel the skin, it adds to the flavor of the finished dish.

Lay them in a single layer, skin side down, in a heavy casserole dish.

Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and top evenly with the remaining ingredients.

Bake and additional 20 to 30 minutes. The apples and the skin will be soft and the brown sugar will be caramelized into a thick syrup.

Give it a quick stir –

Scoop out a serving and

spoon some of the syrup over the top.

Put a big dollop of whipped cream on the top and serve warm.

So easy and so delicious!
