Cranberry Baked Apple to Gladden Your Heart

We learned this week that our Cranberry Jam is a favored ingredient in a local artisan baked apple dessert. She was kind enough to give us permission to share her technique. Noting that everyone has their own special way of creating baked apple for the family.

"All millionaires love a baked apple." Ronald Firbank, novelist (1886-1926) ‘Vainglory’

We are lucky here in the Hudson Valley to have an abundance of apples long after the season is over. Our favorite apples to cook with are Cortland or Gala apples. We also like a sweet golden apple for both cooking and eating right off the tree. Choosing your favorite apple for baking will make the enjoyment of the dish even nicer

To learn another persons approach in creating an old favorite is a simple joy. Creating baked apples is a tradition for many families. The jam maker enjoyed baked apples on camping trips as a young boy. For many, the recipe is as simple as brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins.

Some prefer to fill the baked apple with a combination of berries and nuts topped with vanilla cream and brandy. A classically filled baked apple combined with that of an apple dumpling is the recipe we offer. We enjoy a bit of caramel sauce and some pecan on ours, however, you may prefer a pat of butter and some apple brandy.
