Ingredients

• 4 pieces Apples (medium, firm varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or walnuts)
• 0 per preference Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash the apples thoroughly and use an apple corer or paring knife to remove the core, leaving the bottom intact to create a cavity for the filling.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and optional chopped nuts. Mix until the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 4

Place the prepared apples in a baking dish and evenly divide the blueberry mixture among the apples, stuffing each cavity to the top.

Step 5

Cut the butter into small pieces and place a piece on top of the blueberry mixture in each apple.

Step 6

Pour the water into the baking dish to prevent the apples from drying out during baking.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is bubbling.

Step 8

Carefully remove the apples from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
