Oven Baked Bloomin’ Apples

Directions:
 Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
 Core the apples, leaving the bottom intact.
 Slice vertical cuts around each apple, stopping about ½ inch from the bottom so they stay together.
 Mix melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spoon over the apples, getting the mixture into the cuts.
 Place apples in a baking dish with a few tablespoons of water in the bottom.
 Bake for 35–45 minutes, until tender and beautifully “bloomed.”
 Serve warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

The warm cinnamon apples + cold creamy ice cream combo is pure dessert heaven!
