Vanilla-Bean Baked Apples Recipe-April 2024
Apr 23, 2025 7:49 PM

  Apples are very versatile—they work well with a variety of nuts, spices, and natural sweeteners. Rome Beauty apples hold up especially well during baking. Here, pecans, vanilla, and dark brown sugar create a winning combination of flavors in skillet-baked apples, irresistible served warm from the oven.

  

Ingredients

makes 4

  4 thick-skinned, mildly sweet apples, such as Rome Beauty or McIntosh

  3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar

  2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

  1/2 large vanilla bean, halved lengthwise, seeds scraped and reserved

  1/8 teaspoon salt

  2 tablespoons finely chopped toasted (page 53) pecans, plus more for sprinkling

  

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Using a cylindrical apple corer, core apples three-quarters of the way down. Arrange apples snugly in an ovenproof skillet or a loaf pan.

  

Step 2

Stir together sugar, butter, vanilla-bean seeds, and the salt in a small bowl. Divide sugar mixture among apples (about 2 teaspoons each); sprinkle evenly with nuts. Bake until apples are soft, about 1 hour. Serve warm with pan syrup spooned on top.
