Baked Apples With Ginger and Cranberries
- 13 cup dried sweetened cranberries
- 13 cup candied ginger
- 14 cup packed brown sugar
- 12 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 lbs apples
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Use nonstick cooking oil spray to lightly grease a baking dish that is just large enough to hold the apples without crowding.
- Combine the cranberries, ginger, brown sugar, vanilla extract and salt in the bowl of a food processor.
- Pulse for about 30 seconds, until the mixture is finely chopped.
- Use a corer, spoon or melon baller to create a hollow vertical core in the center of each apple, being careful to remove all of the stem and seeds (core all the way through the bottoms).
- Trim the bottoms of the apples as needed so they sit steadily in the baking dish.
- Place the apples in the prepared baking dish.
- Fill the cored center of each apple with the cranberry-ginger mixture, stuffing the filling inches Add enough water to come 1/4- to 1/2-inch up the side of the dish.
- The apples will be sitting in a shallow pool of water.
- Transfer the dish to the oven.
- Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the apples are tender.
- Transfer the apples to a serving plate.
- Pour the liquid from the baking dish into a small saucepan.
- Cook over medium-high heat, allowing the liquid to boil until it turns into a light syrup; the timing will depend on how much water was in the dish, but it should take only a few minutes.
- You want to end up with about 1/3 cup of light syrup.
- Serve hot or warm, with 1 tablespoon of the syrup drizzled over the top of each apple.
