Instructions

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. 2. Using a sharp knife or an apple corer, carefully hollow out the centers of the apples, leaving about 1/2 inch of the apple flesh intact at the bottom.

3. 3. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, softened butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.

4. 4. Spoon the brown sugar mixture into the hollowed-out apples, pressing it down gently to compact it.

5. 5. Place the filled apples in a baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is bubbling.

6. 6. Remove the Bloomin’ Apples from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

7. 7. Serve the Bloomin’ Apples warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of chopped pecans.

Notes

For a more indulgent treat, drizzle the baked Bloomin’ Apples with a caramel sauce or a dusting of powdered sugar. You can also try different apple varieties, such as Honeycrisp or Gala, for a slightly different flavor profile.
