Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 4 tart green apples
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 cup brown sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Gather all ingredients, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Serve warm. Enjoy!

Step 3

Using an apple corer, a melon baller, or a teaspoon, remove core from the top of each apple, making sure not to go all the way to the bottom, leaving about 1 ½ inches from the bottom of the apple.

Step 4

Stir sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a small bowl until evenly combined. Stuff each apple with 2 tablespoons brown sugar mixture. 

Step 5

Place apples in an 8-inch square baking dish. Top each apple with 1 piece of butter; pour boiling water to a depth of 1/4-inch in the bottom of the dish. Cover with foil.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake, uncovered, until sugar begins to caramelize and apples are tender when pierced with a paring knife, 20 to 25 minutes more.
