Baked Apple with Cranberry Jam
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. For us it includes LunaGrown Cranberry Jam.
Equipment
- 8 x 8 glass pan
- Apple Core Remover
- Cinnamon
- Beyond the Bread
Ingredients
- 4-6 medium apples *choose your favorite we prefer Gala or Golden
- 1-9 ounce jar LunaGrown Cranberry Jam
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup cinnamon and sugar
- Puff pastry
- Caramel sauce optional
- Walnuts or Pecans, raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Peel and core the apples leaving the bottom of the apple intact.
- Combine cinnamon and sugar with your flour and roll apples in the mixture until well coated.
- Fill the center of the apple with LunaGrown Cranberry Jam.
- Roll out pastry dough and wrap apple pinching the dough at the top to create a seal.
- Place apples in a 9 x 9 glass pan and put in the freezer for 10 minutes. (this will keep the pastry dough from sagging to the bottom of the apple during the baking process.
- Heat oven to 375°. Cook apples for 25 - 35 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.
- Top with warm caramel and chopped nuts if desired.
