Apricot Baked Apples Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place almonds on a baking sheet and bake in the preheating oven until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
• Place apricot wedges in an overlapping pattern in individual gratin dishes or a baking dish. Mix almonds and brown sugar and scatter over apricots.
• Bake in the preheated oven until apricots are bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
• Partially peel 8 apples, leaving the bottom half intact
• Remove the core (I use a melon baller)
• Cut a thin slice off the bottom of the apple if necessary to make it stand upright
• Place the apples in a baking dish
• Peel the 9th apple, cut it into 1/2 inch dice
• Combine the apple dice with the applesauce, raisins, apricots, cashews, 1/3 cup sugar, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• Toss to combine
• Combine the remaining sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl
• Fill the apples with the stuffing
• Place 1/2 teaspoon of butter on top of each apple
• Sprinkle each apple with some of the cinnamon/sugar mixture
• Add white wine to the baking dish to the depth of 1/2 inch
• Bake for 1 hour or until tender, basting the apples occasionally with the pan juices
• Add water (or more wine) if neccesary
• Serve warm or at room temperature

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring 2 tablespoons of the apple juice just to a simmer and remove from the heat. Add the currants, stir, and let them sit for 10 minutes to swell. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a bowl, stir together the apricot jam, almonds, and brown sugar. Add the currants with their juice and mix together well. Use this mixture to stuff the apples. Place them in a small roasting pan and place a dab of butter on the top of each. Pour the remaining 1 cup of apple juice into the pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until tender but not split or mushy. Serve hot, with a dollop of Crema, if desired.
• Whisk the cream and the buttermilk together in a bowl. Cover and set in a warm place (a gas oven with just the heat from the pilot light is fine) for 8 hours. Crema may be kept in the refrigerator for as long as a week.

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine well the apricots, the walnuts, the brown sugar, and the butter. Core the apples, making each opening large enough to hold half the apricot mixture, peel the top third of each apple, and fill the cavities with the apricot mixture. Arrange the apples in a deep 2 1/2-quart microwave-safe baking dish so that they do not touch one another or the sides of the dish, pour the orange juice around them, and microwave the apples, covered with microwave-safe plastic wrap, on high power (100%) for 7 minutes. Pierce the plastic wrap with the tip of a sharp knife and let the apples stand, covered, for 5 minutes, or until they are tender.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F and spray an ovenproof dish with cooking spray.
• Core apples.
• With point of the knife, make a cut in the skin about 1/3 of the way down the apple, cutting through the skin about 1/8" deep.
• This prevents the apple from exploding during baking.
• Arrange apples in prepared dish.
• Spoon preserves into the core and dot with butter.
• Drizzle with maple syrup and lemon juice.
• Sprinkle with lemon rind.
• Bake for 30 minutes, baste with pan juices, and bake for an additional 30 minutes (or until apples reach desired doneness).
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1/3 cup water in an 8-inch square baking dish. Peel tops of apples; core with melon baller (leave the bottom intact).
• In a bowl, toss dried apricots with remaining 1/4 cup sugar, ground ginger, and cinnamon.
• Fill apples; place in dish. Dot each with 1/4 tablespoon butter. Bake, basting occasionally, until tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Drizzle with pan syrup.

Steps:

• Ask a grown-up to turn the oven on to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Sit each apple on the worktop and push the apple corer into the centre of each one (or ask a grown-up to do this for you).
• Mix the sultanas, muscovado sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl.
• Stand up the apples, side by side, in a baking dish. Using your fingers, push a little bit of the sultana mixture into each apple, using up all the mixture between them.
• Add a blob of butter to the top of each and sprinkle over the demerara sugar. Ask a grown-up to put the dish in the oven for 20 mins or until the apples are cooked through.
