Roasted Apples with Port Wine Recipe
Ingredients
Directions
- Wash the apples well, remove the pits and cut the peel of the top of the apples so they do not burst.

- Inside each apple put a tablespoon of honey and drizzle all the apples with the Port wine and sprinkle them with brown sugar (to taste).
- Bake for about 20 minutes at 200°C or 400°F.
- Remove the apples from the oven and serve them warm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can use different varieties of apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji. However, make sure to choose apples that are firm and not overly soft to avoid them breaking apart during baking.
Leftover roasted apples can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
If you don't have Port wine, you can substitute it with another sweet wine like Ruby or Tawny, or use apple juice combined with a splash of vinegar for acidity to mimic the flavor.
