Baking Whole Apples

Cox’s Orange Pippin and Granny Smith’s are good apple varieties for baking. For filling ideas, right allowing 1-2 tbsp of filling per fruit. After coring the apple, sprinkle the inside with lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Bake in a shallow ovenproof dish to catch the juices.

1. Score around the middle of the apple with a small knife to allow the flesh to expand during baking.

   

2. Place stuffed apples in a baking dish; top with butter and bake at 200°C for 45-50 minutes.
