A delightful dessert featuring baked apples filled with a sweet berry mixture, perfect for any occasion.
Core and hollow out the apples, leaving the bottom intact to create a cavity.
Use a melon baller to easily remove the core and create a uniform cavity.
In a bowl, mix the blueberries, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until combined.
Gently toss the berries to avoid crushing them.
Fill the hollowed apples with the berry mixture, packing it slightly.
Press the filling gently to ensure it stays in place during cooking.
Place the filled apples in a buttered ramekin and dot the tops with butter.
Butter helps to create a rich and glossy finish on the apples.
Cover the ramekin with plastic wrap, pierce the wrap a few times, and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Check the apples and microwave in 1-minute intervals until tender.
Microwaving times may vary, so check the apples for doneness with a fork.
Serve the warm apples with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Serve immediately to enjoy the warm and cold contrast.
