Do you like apples? How do you usually eat them? There are so many ways to enjoy apples, and today, I'd love to share how I bake them.
Although you don't necessarily need special apple-pots for baking, a couple of days ago, I went to the Poland pottery shop again with a friend of mine to buy the pots. So, I used them to bake.
The picture below shows my new apple pots: the right side is for my husband, and the left one is mine.
First, I cut two apples into eighths and placed the slices into the pots. I put some honey over them and sprinkled some cinnamon powder.
Then, I put the lids on and baked them at 220 °C (428°F) for around 45 minutes.
When you handle them, be careful. The pots are extremely hot!
When I opened the lids, tada!!! A wonderful aroma of mixing cinnamon and apples filled the air. I think the combination is perfect.
The grate thing about using these pots is that they trap the juice inside, so the apples turn out incredibly soft and juicy.
I think I can use these pots for baking vegetables, making soup or many other dishes as well. So, whenever I discover a new way to use them, I'll share it with you here!

Looks yummy!
I love baked apples. I once stayed at a B&B in New Orleans that had a delicious breakfast, and whenever a new guest sat down, the first thing they did was bring them a baked apple in a pot like yours. I suspect the recipe was similar to yours, with the addition of lemon for acidity AND (the crowning touch) they sprinkled lavender over them. The presentation was gorgeous and the lavender combined beautifully with all the other flavors. Oh, and they cored them before baking and put a prune in the middle.
Wow, what cool pots! I'm going to have to try something like this.
@T-Newfields Thank you for correcting and commenting, Tim-san!
@CocoPop Thank you for sharing your story. The baked apples sound really yummy! I'd love to add some lemon juice and the lavender. What a great idea!! I have a plan to plant some lavenders in my garden, so I'll be able to use some.
@Ersatzjello The pottery have so many different designs and it's so much fun to choose from them! Enjoy baking!!!
Thanks for sharing this recipe with us, Yumi!
I'd love to try it! I don't have pots with lids so I need to figure out a way to make it!
@Double-Zee You are very welcome. You don't need to a lid and can bake apples. But it's better the container has it.
