Baked Apples a la Granny Pansy
Granny Pansy, there will only ever be one like her. She was sassy and confident and took nothing from no one, and just happens to have some super amazing granddaughters :)!
(My uncle Keith, Granny Pansy, my adorable Dad!)
She made this dish a lot, but when I think of this dish I go back to a very specific memory with Granny. Once a year, just before Christmas, she would have us (me and my sisters) over to the house and we would spend the day making Christmas crafts and eating baked apples. We glittered and glued and painted and ate until we could do no more. It was at this point that she would send the four of us back home covered in glue, sparkles, and brown sugar! It was awesome and a time I will always and forever cherish. Will still adorn the family tree with some of the crafty decorations we made with Granny Pansy back then.
½ cup sugar
1 cup water
6 apples
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375F
In a saucepan over medium heat combine 1/2 cup of sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat until sugar dissolves.
Pour this syrup in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish.
Core the apple, but don’t go all the way through to the bottom. (This will help keep sugar filling in the apple.)
In a medium bowl, mix the brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon thoroughly.
Divide the mixture equally between the 6 apples. Place filled apples in the casserole dish.
Cook for 45 minutes to an hour, or until a knife can be easily inserted into the apple. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Serve with vanilla ice cream.
