Jamie Oliver’s baked apple is a dessert where whole or halved apples are filled with sweet and spiced ingredients, then baked until soft and slightly caramelized.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 4 medium apples (firm varieties like Granny Smith or Braeburn)

    • 2–3 tablespoons brown sugar or honey

    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

    • 2 tablespoons butter

    • 2–3 tablespoons raisins or sultanas

    • 2–3 tablespoons water

Optional additions:

    • Chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds)

    • Orange or lemon zest

    • Maple syrup

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven Properly

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). A steady, moderate heat allows the apples to cook evenly without collapsing too quickly.

Step 2: Prepare the Apples Carefully

Wash the apples thoroughly, then core them using a knife or apple corer. Make sure to leave the base intact so the filling stays inside during baking.

Step 3: Make the Filling

In a bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and optional nuts. This mixture will create a rich, caramel-like center as it bakes.

Step 4: Stuff the Apples

Fill each apple with the prepared mixture and place a small piece of butter on top. This helps create a glossy, flavorful finish.

Step 5: Arrange in Baking Dish

Place the apples in a baking dish and add a little water around them. This prevents burning and helps create a light syrup.

Step 6: Bake Until Tender

Bake for 25–30 minutes until the apples are soft but still hold their shape. The skins should wrinkle slightly, and the filling should bubble.

Step 7: Serve Warm

Spoon the juices from the dish over the apples before serving. This enhances flavor and keeps them moist.
