Follow these simple steps to create your own Oven Baked Bloomin Apples:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Wash the apples thoroughly, ensuring they are nice and clean before cooking.
- Use an apple corer to remove the core and seeds from the center of each apple, creating a well.
- Create the “blooming” effect by carefully cutting two concentric circles into the apple around the well, being careful not to slice through the bottom.
- Flip the apple over and cut 1/2 inch slits all the way around about 1/2 inch down from the top.
- Place the apples in a casserole dish, cut side up, and spoon a tablespoon of caramel sauce into the well of each apple.
- Melt the butter in the microwave, then stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon to create a thick glaze. Spoon the glaze evenly over each apple.
- Bake the apples for 25-30 minutes until they are soft and tender. Remember, cooking times may vary depending on the type and size of the apples.
- Serve the Oven Baked Bloomin Apples warm, accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Don’t forget to drizzle some extra caramel sauce for added indulgence!
