Baked Apples with Vanilla Sauce

      I'm getting a pretty late start tonight but that's allowed now and then...lol... So before I start telling you about the baked apples I'd like to say a few things about the pineapple upside down cake.   Like I said last night It was very good while it was still warm.  Today my brother in law and a friend of the family told me they thought it tasted delicious but that the cake was kinda dense, the flavor was there just not the texture.  So in my book I have not mastered that one yet... I also found out yesterday that my oven was off center and that my was why my cake come out slightly lopsided, but it's all fixed now.... Okay enough already, on to the apples....

       

      My husband and I where just relaxing tonight watching a little t.v. and getting ready to watch a movie.  Me of course at the time was still undecided on what to bake tonight.  I thought about banana bread but it was already at this point 11 p.m.  So my husband recommended BAKED APPLES with VANILLA SAUCE.  He knew I had been in a lot of pain lately and especially today with my back so we figured it was simple, fast and easy...

what you will need:

2 apples cored 

1 stick of butter 

water to coat bottom of dish 

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 

1/3 cup of sugar divided in half  (half over apple half in melted butter)

1/3 cup of brown sugar divided in half (half over apple half in melted butter)

1/4teaspoon vanilla

                                         BAKED APPLES

          1.   Preheat oven to 400 degrees. To melted butter add cinnamon half of the sugar and half of the brown sugar, vanilla and whisk it together.

         2.     Add a little bit of water to bottom of glass baking dish to prevent burning then place apples in dish, sprinkle the remaining sugar and brown sugar over top the apples and then pour mixture in step 1 over the apples make sure to let it get in the center of the apples.  Cover with foil for 15 minutes then take foil off bast and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes.

                                          VANILLA SAUCE

1 1/2 confectioners sugar

1 tablespoon sugar

                 1.       In a medium saucepan add butter, cream, vanilla confectioners sugar, sugar, and cinnamon bring to a light boil while whisking the entire time, remove from heat, add a little flour just for thickness

 (cornstarch works best if you have it, i just so happen to have run out so i improvised)lol...

        So that was absolutely sinful I tell you and the vanilla sauce was a perfect added touch to this dessert.  Thank you to my wonderful husband for recommending this delectable treat for us all to enjoy.  I know my posts are usually a bit longer but it is now pretty late and my eyes are starting to win the war.
