lattice topped baked apples

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!)

Lattice Topped Baked Apples

If your family loves apple pie, they'll love these Lattice Topped Baked Apples.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Total Time 40 minutes

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.
