What are baked apples good for?

Are there weight loss treats? Yes, these are baked apples. Their caloric content is only 60 kcal, but, of course, if you add the fillings in the form of sugar, cottage cheese or honey, it increases. Therefore, it is better for those who want to lose weight to flavor the fruits with ginger or cinnamon.

How to bake apples in the oven?

First of all, you should choose the fruits themselves. Most suitable are medium-sized sweet apples. If only sour is available, sugar and honey cannot be dispensed with. After all, in the oven they will become even more acidic.

Fruits must be thoroughly washed. The skin of purchased apples is wiped with a brush, because they are covered with wax for safety during transportation.

In the oven, you can cook whole or sliced \u200b\u200bfruits with various fillings: honey, curd cream, sour cream, raisins, banana puree, jam, berries. Vanilla, cinnamon and ginger are preferable as aromatic seasonings.
   Professional dessert masters advise:

If you cut off the tops, the seeds can be removed with a small spoon with a sharp edge. And cut off parts to use as caps.
   The filling should fill three quarters of the hole - in the oven it rises and can leak out.
   Whole fruits on a tray should lie a short distance from each other. So they are baked evenly.
   Unsweetened baked apples can be served as a complement to meat or fish dishes. And sweets look more interesting if sprinkled not with white, but with brown sugar.

Typically, dessert is prepared at 180 degrees, but there are recipes that require more heat - up to 220 degrees. As for the time, it also varies - from 15 to 40 minutes, depending on the variety and taste preferences.

You can read everything in more detail in the article. I did not give recipes for this delicacy. Today Natalia Litvishko, the hostess of the blog, will share her recipes and secrets of cooking delicious baked apples About money and not only ....

Good afternoon dear friends! Let's talk about how to diversify our menu with apples baked in the oven. There are many recipes for baking apples - with fillings, in the dough ... What to choose? I will tell you about my own experience and share recommendations for their preparation. But first, a little about the benefits of this dish.

Energy and nutritional value of baked apples

The calorie content of baked apples without a filling is low - 45-60 kcal per 100 g. Therefore, this dish is suitable for those who follow a diet or want to keep in shape.

Baked apples with toppings or in dough increase calorie content significantly. But the advantage of such desserts is that they are nonetheless natural and yet much more healthy than purchased cakes.

The benefits of baked apples

The usefulness of baked apples is determined by the content of vitamins in them - these are all vitamins of group B, A, C, E, H, PP, micro and macro elements - potassium, sodium, phosphorus, iron, copper, manganese, boron and others.

In baked apples, due to evaporation of the liquid, the concentration of nutrients in the initial mass of the product increases.

Baked apples also have the following beneficial properties:

• well absorbed by the body;
• strengthens blood vessels, increase immunity, help resist vitamin deficiency;
• lower cholesterol;
• have a slight diuretic and laxative effect;
• have a beneficial effect on intestinal function. For the intestines more good if the apple is eaten with a peel;
• pectins contained in apples have a bactericidal effect;
• with low hemoglobin - an indispensable product to increase it;
• antioxidants contained in apples slow down the aging of the body;
• daily consumption of fresh and baked apples reduces the risk of cancer and the development of tumors;
• the regular presence in the diet of baked apples normalizes the liver;
• due to the beneficial effect on all life cycles of the body, we can safely recommend baked apples to pregnant women and nursing mothers.

Harm and contraindications

There is no harm from consuming baked apples. But there are some warnings for people with health problems.

You should carefully consume apples for those who have food allergies.

Baked apples are contraindicated during an exacerbation of a stomach ulcer and duodenal ulcer.

For people suffering from urolithiasis, baked apples can be eaten in small quantities. But this advice applies to all of us. Any product will be useful and will not harm if it is used reasonably.

For baking with a filling, it is better to take medium or large apples with a sweet and sour dense pulp. For baking to get applesauce, you can use any variety.

Baking time and temperature

How many bake apples in the oven and at what temperature? Never take for granted the time specified in the baking recipe. Depending on the variety of apples, their size, quantity, the power of the oven and even its age, the baking time will be different.

Set the temperature slightly lower than indicated in the recipe (further in each recipe I talk about this moment). Add is never too late. And from the heat, apples can burst.

Baking dishes

For baking apples, you can use heat-resistant glass or ceramic dishes, metal baking sheets or silicone molds.

Preparing apples for baking

Preparation of apples for baking is always the same - first you need to thoroughly wash the apples under running water. If the apples have a wax coating, then you need to wash in hot water. You can rub apples with a sponge, being careful not to damage the skin.

You can bake apples with filling in different ways - whole and halves, with or without a lid.

Whole apples with a very dense skin need to be chopped around the stalk with a toothpick in several places, otherwise they may burst when heated.

For baking without a lid, you need to make a cross-shaped incision at half the depth of the apple on the side of the stalk. Then cut the apple from one cut to another by inserting the knife into the apple flesh at an angle. Such a simple operation will make it easier to choose the flesh of an apple to form a depression.

For baking with a lid, you need to cut off the top of the apple with the stalk, select the middle of the apple with a special knife or teaspoon, fill the resulting void with filling, put the cut part in place and pin it with two toothpicks.

To bake an apple in halves, you need to cut it lengthwise, carefully select with a spoon the seed boxes and the flesh around them. The resulting "boats" fill with filling.

Try not to damage the integrity of the apple in its lower part, so that the juice formed during baking does not run away through the cut.

Do not put a lot of sugar in the filling. Apples will give a lot of juice. Optimum - a little more than half a teaspoon per one medium-sized apple.

Whole baked apples recipe

How to bake whole apples in the oven? Prepare the apples. Do not remove the peduncle. Around the stalk, make a few punctures with a toothpick, put the apples in shape and send them to the preheated oven. Temperature - not less than 180˚С, baking time - 10-25 minutes depending on the number of apples and the degree of baking.

You can bake to a different state:

• baked on top and slightly crispy inside;
• baked completely;
• bake until a slight blush forms.

Baked apples with filling

The steps to complete the work are the same for all recipes for apples with filling.

From a whole apple, select the core, do not cut the peel. Add the filling to the resulting recess. Place apples on a greased leaf. Send to the oven preheated to 180 ° C for 15-20 minutes.

Readiness of apples with a toothpick. She should enter the apple easily. It is necessary to pierce the fruit from above, and not from the side, so that the juice does not run.

You can make a variety of fillings for baked apples. Consider the various options and methods for preparing such fillings.

Baked apples with sugar and cinnamon.

Before adding apples, mix sugar with cinnamon. Add cinnamon to taste.

With honey

Add half or a full tablespoon of honey to each apple. You need to focus on the size of the apples and the notch made. All apples with honey are best done with a lid.

With honey, cinnamon and raisins

Choose more pulp to increase the amount of filling. Put honey, washed seedless raisins and a pinch of cinnamon in each apple. Apples prepared according to this recipe help to cope with cough.

With honey and nuts

You can take walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews - to choose from, those that are. Peanuts are less suitable for this. Grind with a rolling pin, rolling through a towel. Mix with honey. Arrange the filling in apples.

With caramel

Ordinary soft caramels will make the taste of apples unique. You can take regular fruit pads. Put one or two caramels in prepared apples.

With jam

Arrange pitted jam or applesauce in apples. For a thicker filling, add a little potato starch. Cover the baking sheet with baking paper.

With vanilla

Mix sugar with vanilla. I make sugar in advance. For 200 g of sugar, add one gram of vanillin and mix thoroughly. You can increase or decrease the amount of vanillin to your liking.

With dried fruit

Take dried apricots, seedless raisins, prunes, sort out, rinse well and pour warm boiled water. Allow to stand for about twenty minutes. Choose seeds from prunes.

Scroll all dried fruits and a small amount of the selected apple pulp without skin and seed box through a meat grinder, mix the mixture thoroughly and stuff the prepared apples with it.

The amount of dried fruit depends on the size of the dried fruit itself and the size of the apples. Based on the calculation: for one apple on prunes and dried apricots, several pieces of raisins.

Bake in the oven on a baking sheet, covered with a piece of parchment paper.

Serve the finished apples with honey.

With fresh or frozen berries

Rinse and dry fresh berries. Frozen - lay out immediately. Add a little sugar. Bake on baking paper.

Good for baking with apples, pitted cherries, raspberries, strawberries. For sour berries, increase the amount of sugar.

With condensed milk

As in all previous recipes, it is important not to overdo it with the filling. Otherwise, milk will flow out of the apple and begin to burn on the leaf.

Baked apples with cottage cheese. Recipe with photo

Baked apples with cottage cheese are tasty both hot and cold.

For eight medium apples, you need to take 200 g of cottage cheese, sugar to taste, one yolk.

For cooking, buy your favorite brand of cottage cheese or rustic. You can grind the cottage cheese through a sieve or process in a blender. I take country cottage cheese, I don’t grind it beforehand. It is enough that it is rubbed with a spoon during mixing with sugar and an egg.

Do not peel apples! Prepare apples according to one of the proposed options, choosing more pulp than just baked apples. It takes a good deepening.

Mix cottage cheese with sugar and egg yolk.

Fat and acid curd are different. It is better to add sugar to the cottage cheese little by little, tasting it, and only then add the yolk.

For this recipe, you can also use different variations of the filling, optionally add one of the following ingredients to the curd:

• cinnamon
• vanillin;
• raisins (then the amount of sugar must be reduced);
• candied fruit (do not add sugar at all);
• chopped marmalade (do not add sugar).

Arrange the filling in the prepared apples, gently ramming with a spoon. The filling level should not be higher than the apple cut.

Put apples on a leaf, send to the oven. You can lightly grease the pan with oil, but this is not necessary.

Remove the finished apples from the leaf. You can serve with yogurt, sour cream.

We offer you to watch a video on how to cook apples with curd filling.

Baked dough apples

First you need to make the dough according to your favorite recipe or buy ready-made - yeast, puff yeast. For you, my recipes for apples baked in pastry with step by step photographs.

Prepare apples - wash, peel, cut out the kernels with seeds, choose the pulp to make indentations.

Roll out the dough. Yeast - in round cakes of a rather large diameter, yeast puff - in squares. The thickness of the dough depends on your preference. I love to have a lot of dough.

Spread prepared apples on tortillas, pour sugar into recesses.

Also, for the toppings of apples in the dough, you can use all the same products as for baked apples.

After that, gently lift up and fasten the edges of the flat cakes around the apple, being careful not to tear the dough. Yeast dough is well collected in folds, as in the photo. Leave a steam outlet. The size of the hole should be such that the apple is inside the bag of dough.

Transfer the apples in the dough onto a baking sheet previously lightly oiled.

Allow the products to move in a warm place. I do not indicate the time. Depends on the room temperature. It happens that 10-15 minutes are enough, and another time, 20 is not enough.

Put in an oven preheated to 180 ° C for 20-25 minutes. Remember that I wrote about the temperature above! Do not open the oven for the first 10 minutes.

Temperature and time are designed for 8 medium-sized apples and about 600 g of the usual yeast dough prepared by the steamed method.

For the preparation of 8 apples and 500 g of puff yeast dough, the time will approximately be reduced by five minutes.

Ready apples to remove from the sheet with a spatula hot.

Try, experiment, look for your option. And enjoy the creative process in the kitchen! Good luck to all of us!

  The baking time depends on the size and variety of apples, so try to make them all about the same.

Ingredients:

1. Apples - 9 pcs.

2. Sugar - 9 tsp.

Cooking method:

1. Rinse raisins and cranberries under running water. And then put in a container with boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Fold it on a sieve and place it on a clean, dry towel or napkin so that any remaining liquid drains.

Any dried fruit can be used for baking apples, dried apricots and dates are quite suitable, and prunes in combination with walnuts will not leave indifferent even the most sophisticated gourmets.



2. Wash the apples and cut the core with a knife. Make a cutout in the form of a cone-shaped recess, but so that there is no through hole, because the filling should not spill out.

If there is a special knife in the household, the process will take several minutes, but it is quite possible to do with an ordinary kitchen knife with a pointed nose.



3. Cover the baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. For baking apples, it’s absolutely the same, use what is at hand.

Place the apples on a baking sheet at a distance of 2 - 3 cm from each other, so that hot air evenly bakes them from all sides.

Put a small piece of butter in each apple, it will give an incredibly gentle creamy flavor to the finished product.

Of course, if you intend to cook diet apples for use in food for diseases of the liver or gastrointestinal tract, then there can be no talk of any oil.



4. Mix granulated sugar with ground cinnamon, and pour one teaspoon of the mixture into each well. If you want to use honey instead of sugar, there are no questions, and if you do not like sweets, skip this point altogether.

Only a pinch of cinnamon will be enough, the beneficial properties of which cannot be underestimated, and the aroma floating in the air when used will fill the room with the aroma of celebration and comfort.

Put in each apple a set of prepared dried fruits and condense. If, in addition to raisins and cranberries, you use larger berries, cut them so that the size of all components is approximately the same.



5. Lay nuts on top. With the layered method of stacking products, it is possible to get soft raisins that are not completely burnt, and dry crispy nuts. However, if you want to mix everything, just cut the dried fruits, mix with honey and cinnamon and stuff the prepared apples with the resulting mixture.

And so as not to burn raisins, because the temperature in the oven is too high for him, cover the apples with a blank sheet of plain white paper dipped in water.

Getting to baking:



6. Preheat the oven to a temperature of 180 - 200 degrees, and place in it a baking sheet with apples for 15 to 20 minutes.



7. Sprinkle the cooled apples with powdered sugar through a fine strainer. Remember that if you pour on the hot powder, it just melts in a few seconds. The sweet taste, of course, will remain, but the decorative property will be lost.

In cases where there is no desire or opportunity to use the oven, you can bake apples in the microwave. The recipe does not change, but each apple must be chopped with a fork in several places.

Enjoy your meal!
