Ingredients

  • For the apples
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pinch cinnamon or 1 pinch allspice
  • 2 firm apples, cored
  • 1 unbaked pastry shell
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup lightly-salted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Bourbon
  • 1 dash cinnamon

Method

  • For Apple:
  • Mix the brown sugar, butter and cinnamon to form a paste. Stuff the paste into the cored apple, then wrap the apple with the pastry. Use remaining pastry to add a decorative touch. Bake for 20 minutes at 375°F.
  • For Sauce:
  • Place the sugar in a pan with 3 to 4 tablespoons of water. Allow this to boil until it turns a rich amber color (232°F) on a candy thermometer).
  • Remove from heat and whip in the butter and cream. Season with cinnamon. Stir in the bourbon. Pour over baked apple and serve.
