My friend, Tim, gets a lot of grief from his guy buddies for losing his “man card” when he posts
pretty food to his facebook page.
He does a fabulous job!
Last week he made these baked apples that he found on foodgawker.com
They were super pretty!
My family LOVES apple pie, so I new that I had to try it.
The only thing, Tim doesn’t use a recipe.
He sees it and wings it.
In that regard we have a lot in common.
So I figured I would do the same…. I winged it and wrote it down as I went!
The one tip he gave me, to place a small piece of crust in the bottom of the apple, because his sort of leaked out of the core base. ( I think he wanted me to test drive that idea to see if it worked, it didsu!)

Servings: 8 apples
Calories: 273kcal
Ingredients
- 8 granny smith apples
- lemon juice
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons flour
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 pie crust homemade or refrigerated
- additional cinnamon and sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Core and hollow 6 granny smith apples. Squeeze a little lemon juice in each hollowed out apple and swirl around and dump out to help keep apples from browning. (this step isn’t mandatory, but I did it, because I don’t like when the apples get brown.) Peel and thinly slice the other 2 apples.
- Combine sliced apples with flour, sugar and spices.
- Divide and stuff hollowed apples.
- Roll out pie crust and cut into 1/3″ strips, form a lattice over the apple, and trim of the excess.
- Place in muffin tins.
- Lightly dust the tops with cinnamon and sugar.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
