Brown Sugar and Butter Apples with Spice and Cold Cream
4
4 baking apples (Jonagold, Honey Crisp, Braeburn)
4 tablespoons butter, melted
4 tablespoons maple syrup
⅓ cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup cold heavy cream
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Core the apples and place them in a baking dish side-by-side. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Distribute this mix among the apples, where the core once was. Place in the oven and bake until the apples are soft within and caramelized at the base, about 25 minutes. Add a little water if they begin to burn. Remove apples from oven and move each to individual plates. Pour a little cold cream over top and serve.
