These bloomin’ apples were definitely one of the tastiest things I’ve ever made. Each bite was like biting into a hot, fresh-out-of-the-oven apple pie. Perfect. Just delicious!

Ingredients

  • 2 Honey Crisp apples
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 caramels divided
  • Your favorite toppings ice cream, whipped cream, caramel topping, a sprinkle of cinnamon, etc

Instructions

  • Fire up your Big Easy or preheat an oven to 350 F.
  • Cut about 1/2" off the tops of the apples, getting all of the stems.
  • Using a melon baller or spoon, scoop out the core of the apples. Get just enough to get the seeds.
  • Using a sharp knife, make 2 circular cuts, one inside the other, around the inside of the apples from the top. You want two concentric circles. Be careful to not cut through the apples. See the picture above.
  • Turn the apples over so that they are lying flat on the cut tops.
  • Take a knife and make cuts down the sides if the apples. Start about 1/2" from the center of each apple and slice downward.
  • Turn the apples back over.
  • Melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar until dissolved.
  • Stir in the flour and cinnamon.
  • Place 2 caramels in the hollowed out centers of each apple.
  • Pour the butter mixture over the tops.
  • Transfer apples to a Big Easy basket and place into the cooker. Roast for about 20 minutes, checking for tenderness. I used a long metal skewer to gently poke the apples to see if they were soft.
  • For oven cooking, transfer the apples to a baking sheet lined with foil and bake 30-40 minutes or until tender.
  • Your apples may take longer than mine. Start checking them after 20 minutes.
  • Remove apples and add your favorite toppings.

Notes

Note: If you add ice cream to the tops of the cooked apples it will cause the caramel mixture to harden. You may prefer to serve the ice cream on the side or do as I did and eat the apples soon after adding the ice cream!
