Classic baked apple

I have located this terra cotta apple baker in one of my kitchen cupboards. I believe my mother gave me this terra cotta apple baker around 10 years ago. And I have not used it for the seven years, so I placed it on the kitchen table and what would happen !!! It actual went into action this evening.

I found an apple and decided to make this classic baked apple following the recipe on the box. There is plenty of the filling, enough to fill two apples, so I will suggest, that you reduce the recipe with 50%. All in all it is a too sweet baked apple dessert for my taste buds. So I will be on the look-out for some other recipes on baked apple.

Also I imaging this baked apple would go perfect hand-in-hand with some vanilla ice cream :-)
