Pumpkin Pie Stuffed Baked Apples combine the classic flavors of pumpkin pie with the fresh, juicy texture of baked apples, creating a perfect fall treat. This recipe offers a healthy twist on traditional desserts, ideal for Thanksgiving celebrations or any autumn occasion where you want to impress your guests with something uniquely delicious and seasonal.

Ingredients

Ingredients for Pumpkin Pie Stuffed Baked Apples:

  • 4 large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), cored
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature by the time you’re ready to bake.
  2. Prepare the Pumpkin Filling: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  3. Stuff the Apples: Take each cored apple and carefully stuff them with the prepared pumpkin filling. Press down gently to pack the filling, ensuring it fills up to the top.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Arrange the stuffed apples upright in a baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent the tops from burning and to retain moisture inside the apples.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The apples should be tender but still retain their shape to ensure a delightful texture.
  6. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the apples from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. They can be served warm, which is perfect for those chilly fall evenings.

Notes

Notes:

  • For a nuttier flavor and crunch, mix chopped pecans or walnuts into the pumpkin filling before stuffing the apples.
  • Choose apples that are firm and good for baking such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith to ensure they don’t lose their shape and texture during baking.
