Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Lightly butter a small baking dish.
- Step 2
Peel and core the apples and spread 2 tablespoons of the butter over them. In a bowl, mix ¼ cup of the sugar with the almonds. Roll the apples in the mixture and place in the baking dish. Mix ½ cup of the sugar with the remaining almond-sugar mixture and spoon into the center of the apples, where the core was.
- Step 3
Mix the hot water, lemon juice and the final ÂĽ cup sugar and pour around the apples in the baking dish. Dot the remaining butter around the apples and in the core spaces and bake, covered, for 20 minutes. Baste with the pan juices at this point and continue baking an additional 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Remove cover. Bake an additional 5 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Except for a strip around the top, I left the peels on the apples to hold them together while baking.
I used large green apples and found they needed a little more cooking time. An extra 5-10 minutes. Otherwise delicious!
Too sweet for me and too much water. Ended up cooking them longer to break them down, then diced and coarsely mashed them to serve as a topping on a biscuit. The biscuit gave variety to the texture and balanced the sweetness. As a topping with the biscuit it was quite yummy. I added a dollop of creme fraiche to my family's servings and they loved it. No brainer that it would be delish also as a topping for ice cream.
