Step by step method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400.

  • Step 2

    Butter a gratin dish just large enough to hold the apples.

  • Step 3

    Using a sharp knife or an apple corer, core each apple without cutting all the way through to the bottom.

  • Step 4

    Arrange the apples in the buttered gratin dish and fill each one with 1 TBS sugar and 1 TBS butter.

  • Step 5

    Sprinkle with cinnamon if using.

  • Step 6

    Add a little water, to make a thin layer, to the bottom of the dish.

  • Step 7

    Bake until the apples are soft but still hold their shape, 30-35 minutes.

  • Step 8

    Serve warm or lukewarm.

Tips & variations

  • Soak 2 TBS raisins or currants in 2 TBS dark rum or Cognac. Spoon these into the apples along with the sugar and butter before baking.

  • Chop a small handful of unsalted nuts and add to the butter and sugar filling.
