Hasselback Cinnamon-Caramel Baked Apples Recipe

Directions

Ingredients :

2 Gala apples – peeled, halved, and cored

½ cup unsalted butter

⅓ cup honey

1 tablespoon coconut sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Methods :

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Lay apples cut-side down on your work surface. Make several thin slices into the apples, not cutting all the way through.

Step 3

Melt butter in a small pan over medium-low heat. Whisk in honey, coconut sugar, and cinnamon until well combined. Whisk continuously and adjust heat so sauce does not boil.

Step 4

Spoon a small amount of the caramel sauce into the bottom of a small baking dish. Place apple halves, core-sides down, over the sauce. Spoon enough of the remaining sauce on top to cover apples completely.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Spoon sauce over the apples and bake for 20 minutes more. Check apples with a fork to make sure they are cooked but still a little firm.
