For those of you that know me well, know I have a deep love for pie and pie filling. So when I stumbled upon this recipe for baked apples I really wanted to try it. Today seemed like a perfect day, cold, rainy and quiet so I went for it.
If you want to try it on your own, you can find the recipe at the original source here: http://www.salad-in-a-jar.com/family-recipes/apples-in-a-bag
To Start: Gather and measure out all your ingredients. I had a large apple, so I doubled the sugar, cinnamon and water. I also did not have any cornstarch on hand, so I added brown sugar and it turned out fine. The more sugar, the better!
Chop your apple into slices and add all the ingredients into a freezer bag. Zip the freezer bag closed and mix everything together.
Place the bag (partially open to vent) in the microwave for 2 - 2 1/2 minutes. Be careful when pulling the bag out of the microwave... it will be HOT. Scoop out the apples into a bowl and serve. The flavor is unreal, and the aroma left behind is lovely. I had a fair amount of sauce left in the bottom of the bag. I didn't pour it over my apples for calories sake, but over vanilla bean ice cream I can only image how good it will taste.
Do I recommend trying 'Baked Apples in a Bag'? Heck yes! This recipe is soon to become one of my regular winter snack staples. mmmmmmmmmm.
