Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar

- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

How to Make Baked Apples with Chocolate Drizzle
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash and core the apples, creating a hollow center for the filling.
- In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the melted butter and stir until combined.
- Stuff each apple with the brown sugar mixture, pressing it down gently.
- Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish and pour a little water (about 1/4 cup) into the bottom of the dish to help steam the apples as they bake.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
- While the apples are baking, melt the chocolate chips and milk together in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
- Once the apples are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle the melted chocolate over the top.
- If desired, sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious baked apples!
Tips for the Best Results
- Choose firm apples that hold their shape well during baking for the best texture.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar based on your preference.
- For a spicier flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the filling.
Easy Variations
- Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a creamy contrast.
- Substitute chocolate with caramel sauce for a different flavor profile.
- Experiment with different nuts or even a sprinkle of granola for added crunch.
What to Serve With It
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- A warm cup of spiced cider or mulled wine to complement the flavors.
- A side of yogurt for a refreshing contrast.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the apples in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. For a crispier texture, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
