Ingredients

  • 6 gala apples (or your favorite type)
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon all purpose flour
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 1/4 cup cranberries (optional)
  • 1/4 cup blackberries (optional)
  • 1/4 cup crushed almonds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • pinch of allspice cloves and cardamom (optional)

For the pastry:

  • easy flaky pie dough
  • vanilla ice cream for serving
  • homemade caramel sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the easy flakey pie dough and roll it into a rectangle 1/8th inch thick and slice it into strips about 1/4 inch wide.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  3. Slice each apple top and use a melon baller to hollow out as much of the apple as possible leaving about a fourth of an inch border around the apple.

  4. Take the hallowed apple pieces, remove any seeds, and start chopping up the apple into tiny cubes about 1/4 inch.

  5. In a bowl, toss the apple cubes with the cranberries, blackberries and nuts if using and add in the brown sugar, flour and lemon juice. add the cinnamon and ginger and extra spice if desired.
  6. Take this apple mixture and stuff it back into the apples.
  7. Now to make the lattice topping, it’s best to look to the photos.
  8. Take three strips and place them horizontally on each apple. Fold them back towards the edges making room for a vertical strip to land in the middle perpendicular to them.

  9. Then take two of those three strips and fold them onto the vertical strip, and the remaining one strip below the vertical strip creating an alternating weave like arrangement.
  10. Repeat with three more vertical strips.
  11. Bake the apples for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and apples are tender.
  12. Serve with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzle if desired.

Recipe Notes

  • I love finishing the Apple Pie Stuffed Apples off with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and a nice drizzle of my homemade caramel sauce.
  • If you want to make this Apple Pie Stuffed Apples recipe gluten-free or vegan, use gluten-free/vegan pie dough on top.
  • Alternatively, skip the dough part altogether and just bake the apples with the apple pie stuffing.
