Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 7- to 8-ounce Golden Delicious apples
6 tablespoons toffee bits (such as Skor)
3 tablespoons bourbon
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups apple cider
3 tablespoons mild-flavored (light) molasses
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Peel skin off top third of each apple. Using small melon baller, scoop out stem and core, leaving bottom intact. Stand apples in 11x7x2-inch baking dish. Place 2 tablespoons toffee bits around apples in dish. Divide remaining bits among cavities of apples. Add 1/2 tablespoon bourbon and 1/2 tablespoon butter to cavity of each apple. Whisk cider, molasses, sugar and ginger in bowl; spoon over and around apples.
  • Bake apples until tender, basting often with pan juices, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Transfer apples to bowls. Pour juices from dish into small saucepan. Boil juices until thick enough to coat spoon, about 6 minutes. Spoon sauce over apples. Serve apples warm with vanilla ice cream.
