1–2 tablespoons honey (depending on your sweet tolerance)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Carefully cut out the top core of the apples and set aside. If desired, you can peel the apples halfway down (I used a vegetable peeler), but this is not necessary.
Place the cored apples in an 8 x 8 baking dish and drizzle honey over the top of the apples. If you’re using freshly picked apples, you probably only need 1 tablespoon of honey.
Then sprinkle cinnamon and ginger over the apples.
Return the tops of the core to the apples and fill the dish with enough water to cover at least the bottom 1/3-1/2 of the apple. For me, this was about 1 ½ cups. Add vanilla and an extra drizzle of honey to the water.
