Caramel baked apple

Ingredients for 2:

  • 2 crisp apples
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 caramels

Instructions:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • To get the blooming apple look, you need to cut the apples. Slice off the top ¼ of the apples. Scoop out the core. Then, use a thin knife to make two deep circular cuts around the center of the apple. Next, turn the apple over and make narrow cuts all the way around the apple. Flip it back over and you can see all of the cuts.
