Instructions

1. – Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a baking dish or cast-iron skillet.

2. – Core the apples, leaving the bottom intact. Use a paring knife or melon baller to scoop out the core, creating a well in the center of each apple.

3. – In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

4. – Stuff the brown sugar mixture into the center of each apple, packing it in tightly. Top with the chopped nuts, if using.

5. – Place the stuffed apples in the prepared baking dish or skillet. Pour a small amount of water or apple cider into the bottom of the dish.

6. – Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the tops are golden brown.

7. – Serve the Bloomin’ Apples warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce, if desired.

Notes

– For a more indulgent version, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce on top.

– Experiment with different apple varieties, such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji, to find your favorite.

– Store any leftover Bloomin’ Apples in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
