Cinnamon and Rum Baked Apples

June 1, 2015 By Mihaela K. Sebrek Leave a Comment

Apples, apples, apples… one of my favorite fruit, love them all – red delicious, golden delicious, fuji, gala, granny smith, pink lady… you name it. The best thing is, besides they are one of the healthiest fruit, they are available throughout the year.

This apples with cinnamon and rum are a winning combination, especially if you want to prepare a tasty dessert with few calories. And topped with some vanilla ice cream they are just divine. My 6-year-old niece was liking fingers after this one, but if you want to prepare a kids friendly dessert, replace rum with apple juice or water, although the alcohol evaporates during cooking. I used in this recipe Granny Smith Apples, and I have tried this one with Rome Beauty and they worked out great, you can use any kind of  baking, firm apples (12 Great Apples for Baking).
