What you’ll need:

Apples

Pancake Batter (about 3/4 of a cup or so per Apple)

A few drops of Syrup for inside the Apples!

Butter, Syrup and Cinnamon for topping!

Directions:

Slice off a thin slice of the stem end of the apple and with an Apple Corer/Melon baller/scooper-out-thingy, gently scoop out just the seeds/core and toss it!

Then continue scooping until most BUT NOT ALL of the Apple is out~ leave approx. 1/8″ of an edge on the inside of the Apple for stability!  Very carefully, and only if necessary, slice off some of the bottom of the Apple so it sits evenly.

Chop up the scooped out Apple middles (minus the seeds of course)

Now mix up the Pancake batter according to your box instructions, and add in all the Apple middles…

Pour a couple of drops of Maple Syrup down into the bottom of the Apples…

Sprinkle a dash of Cinnamon in the batter and mix it all up…

Add the batter into each of your Apples, about 3/4 of the way up!

Place them on a sheet pan and bake them at 350 degrees for approx. 20 minutes, or until the Apples are tender and the pancake batter is golden and firm all the way through…

Let them cool slightly…

BUT//serve them warm with some maple syrup…

And maple butter…

And cinnamon, if you so choose!

Now dig into the most tender pancakey, sweet appley, warm mapley goodness!  ~Enjoy! 🙂

For those of you that may not know, most of my recipes are created after midnight~  I know it sounds strange, but it’s true!  Right here, right now, you have a first hand idea of what that looks like!  This sweet, sticky Maple Bacon covered Baked Apple was thrust into my brain and refused to leave, somewhere between midnight and 2am…lol!  And here we are!

I’m wide awake and here to tell you that I think this is my ultimate FAVORITE way to eat an Apple, and I don’t think I will ever be able to eat Apples any other way ever again!  🙂

~The Maple glazed Bacon literally shrink wraps itself around that sweet, juicy Apple and creates a one-of-a-kind Apple eating experience…TRUST ME on this one!  Pop some of these in the oven, and the smell alone will draw a crowd.  Serve them up and watch out…it’s a life changing experience.  🙂

What you’ll need for 4-6 Apples:

1 lb. of Bacon..I used thin cut

4-6 Apples..depending on size~  Your fave Apple variety will work!

1 cup Maple Syrup

Sticks/Skewers..one per each Apple

Directions:

Wrap each Apple with 2-3 slices of Bacon, and secure gently with a skewer.  This is so the Bacon stays in place as it cooks around the Apple and doesn’t slip off as it gets hot in the oven.

Brush the Bacon wrapped Apples with the Maple Syrup~  reserve some for basting during the baking process…

Place the Apples on a sheet pan and bake them at 400 fro approx. 45 minutes.  The time will vary depending on the size of your Apples and thickness of your Bacon so keep a close eye on them.

Baste them every 10 minutes or so with more Maple Syrup to get them SUPER sticky sweet, and dark!

They’re done when they’re dark, tender and smell amazing.  Let them cool!

Remove the skewers…and now you can serve them up…BUT, serve them warm.  🙂

And be sure to grab one for YOU!  ~Enjoy!  🙂

I’ve never been much of a baked apple person, something about the mushy Apples that should be in a Pie but aren’t, just never did it for me.  BUT, like magic…add some Butter, Caramel, Toffee Bits and of course…Booze and now~NOW I suddenly love them!  😉

These super simple stacks will make everyone feel like they’re in a five star Bed & Breakfast, or at the very least, a warm, cozy holiday dinner with ALL of  the family gathered around not arguing at all!  Feel free to add extra Bourbon for the family dinner scenario…jussst kidding!

Anyway, you get the idea….minimal effort/maximum result~ as usual!  🙂

What you’ll need for 4 succulent Apple stacks:

4 medium Apples…your favorite variety

1/4 cup Toffee Bits…for topping

1/2 cup Caramel Sauce divided~~1/4 cup for the simmer sauce and 1/4 cup for the topping.

A baking dish..

The simmer sauce:

4 tablespoons Butter

2 tablespoons Bourbon

1/4 cup Caramel…I used store bought~

Directions:

Peel and core the Apples…

Slice each Apple horizontally into 4 or 5 slices.  Then reassemble them into a stack.

Now make the simmer sauce> in a medium pot, melt the Butter into the Bourbon and 1/4 cup Caramel Sauce until well combined…

Pour the Sauce over each of the Apples, making sure to coat them all as evenly as possible…

Bake them at 375 degrees for about 60 minutes, or until fork tender.  Baste every 15 minutes with the butter mixture drippings in the baking dish.  I even separated the slices to roll them around in the sauce..then re-stacked them to serve~I like all that sauce!

Serve them in pretty stacks and add some of the reserved Caramel right over the top~and a sprinkling of Toffee Bits for that sweet crunch…

They’re too good not to share…

So grab a pretty plate…

And share with umm…yourself!  You deserve it..lol!  ~Enjoy!  🙂
