Ingredients

• 4 whole Apples (preferably Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.3333 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dark rum
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Chopped pecans (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Raisins (optional)
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Core the apples, removing the seeds and creating a hollow center, while leaving the bottom intact to hold the filling.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the butter, brown sugar, dark rum, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth.

Step 4

If using, stir in the chopped pecans and raisins to the mixture.

Step 5

Stuff an equal portion of the butter rum mixture into the hollowed-out center of each apple.

Step 6

Place the stuffed apples upright in a baking dish. Pour the water into the base of the dish to prevent the apples from sticking and to keep them moist during baking.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the apples are tender but not falling apart.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let the apples cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

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