1 Turn on the oven and preheat to 350ºF.
2 Wash the apples thoroughly and extract their core along with the pips with the help of an apple corer or, otherwise, a knife.
3 Insert a teaspoon of butter in the center of each apple and a teaspoon of sugar. Next, sprinkle a teaspoon of cinnamon powder or insert a cinnamon stick into each apple.
4 Put the apples in an ovenproof bowl and add the water.

The most basic recipe is prepared with butter and sugar as the filling of the apples. However, you can substitute the sugar with any other sweetener you like, either liquid or granulated, such as maple sugar, brown sugar, honey or even cacao. In addition, you can also add a pinch of your favourite dried fruit or nut.
Serve warm with a splash of cold vanila ice cream or a natural yogurt.
In this recipe, we add some water in the baking dish before putting the apples in the oven. This helps during the baking process to achieve a more soften texture and avoids the apple to stick to the bowl. However, you can substitute the water with another liquid like apple cider or apple juice if you prefer to achive a sweeter sauce.
