Apples are one of the best fruits to use in baking because they never fail to taste delicious no matter what you do. One of my all-time favorite and go-to recipes is this baked blooming apple by Team Bequette on YouTube! This apple is coated with a buttery and sweet mixture which gives it the perfect flavor combination, and becomes even more delicious when served with ice cream and drizzled with a yummy caramel sauce.
Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp of melted butter
- 1 tbsp of packed brown sugar
- 1 tbsp of granulated sugar
- ½ tsp of ground cinnamon
- 5 pieces of Granny Smith apples
- 10 pieces of chewy caramel squares
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
- Caramel, for drizzling
Directions:
Step 1
First off, make sure to rinse and clean each piece of apple well, then slice the top off of each apple, and scoop out the core using either a melon baller or a teaspoon. Once done removing each apple’s core, grab a paring knife and use it to make two circular cuts around the top flesh of the apple, then place the apple on a cutting board with its cut side facing down, and start slicing the apple down vertically around making sure to leave the center intact.

Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, add the melted butter, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, then whisk them all together until well combined, and set it aside. Grease a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, then place the apples with their cut side facing up, and generously brush their top with the melted butter mixture. Fill each hollow center of the apple with 2 caramel candies, then put them in a preheated oven at 375°F, and let them bake for about 40 to 45 minutes. Serve with ice cream, then drizzle with caramel, and enjoy!
