Stuffed Baked Apples with Toasted Meringue
FROM SUBSTACK
I originally conceived of this recipe as an alternative Passover Seder dessert, but then I realized I got the dates wrong, and that Seder would be a distant memory by the time this week’s newsletter reached you. Lucky for us, these adorable baked apples with a sexy top hat of creamy meringue are perfect for anytime. If you do happen to be keeping Passover, though, these are 100% allowed.
Why am I sharing an apple dessert in spring when apples are a fall fruit? Well, I think we all know that apples are pretty much a year-round affair, so let’s enjoy them while we wait for summer fruit to arrive, shall we?
Serves 4
4 medium red apples, preferably Honeycrisp or Cortland
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus an additional pat for baking
3 tablespoons/40 g light brown sugar
