Vanilla Bean Baked Apple

Ok I admit, my wife makes fun of me and laughs at me on occasions when I am intently watching one of Martha Stewart’s recipe videos. Apparently a lot of my macho appeal has been diluted by my changed internet habits. From electronic gadgets and sports news, now my internet surfing has grown a healthy appetite of home and garden, food recipes and craft. Though she makes fun of me at times, I don’t hear any complaints whenever I try out one of my hard searched recipes.
So from Martha Stewart website, ladies and gentlemen, young and old, here it is, yours and truly, Vanilla Bean Baked Apples!Screen Shot 2015-08-14 at 2.41.20 PM

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using a cylindrical apple corer, core apples three-quarters of the way down. Fit snugly in an ovenproof skillet or a loaf pan.
  2. Stir together sugar, butter, nuts, vanilla seeds, and salt in a small bowl. Divide sugar mixture among apples (about 2 teaspoons each). Sprinkle with nuts. Bake until apples are soft, about 1 hour. Serve warm with pan syrup spooned on top.

Can’t wait till fall apples. Enjoy~!
