Servings: persons

3 granny smith apples, cored but not peeled
3 Red Delicious apples, cored but not peeled
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup walnut pieces
1/4 cup golden raisin
1/4 cup butter, diced
Caramel sauce
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup whipping cream

1
Preheat oven to 375u00b0F Grease a baking pan just large enough to hold the apples.
2
With a small knife, cut at an angle to enlarge the core opening at the stem end of each apple to about 1 inch diameter. (The opening should look like a funnel shape.).
3
Arrange the apples in the prepared pan, stem end up.
4
In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup water with brown sugar, nutmeg and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring. Boil for 6 minutes.
5
Combine the walnuts and raisins. Spoon some of the walnut/raisin mixture into opening of each apple.
6
Top each apple with some of the diced butter.
7
Spoon the brown sugar sauce over and around the apples. Bake, basting occasionally with the sauce, until the apples are just tender, 45-50 minutes. Transfer the apples to a serving dish, reserving the brown sugar sauce in the baking pan. Keep the apples warm.
8
For the caramel sauce, mix the butter, cream and reserved brown sugar sauce in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Let the sauce cool slightly before serving.

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.

Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
