Answer: Yes. Clearly you are.
But hey, I make treats. So… at least I'm contributing to the world via sugar… uh…
2-3 apples (any variety, but firmer apples that hold up well when baked work best)
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
In a pot, combine the butter, sugar, and corn syrup. Stir over medium heat until combined, then increase the heat to bring to a boil. Allow to boil (a low, steady boil) for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the pecans and vanilla extract. Let that cool while you prep the apples.
As I was prepping the apples, I would place a finished one in a big bowl of water before starting the next. This helps them not to turn brown while you work.
Once the apples are ready, go back to the filling. It should be cooler now. Stir in the egg and pour into each apple shell. I probably could have filled five shells, but I only did four and had a little filling left over. This will vary based on your apple size.
Bake at 350°F for 35-38 minutes. Allow to cool before eating.
OK, those last three suggestions are optional. But not the ice cream. xo. Emma

Is there another option to using corn syrup? I’m not a big fan of adding that to my food…otherwise, it looks super yummy!
These look SO good.

is corn syrup compulsory, can it be changed to agave or honey?
I love this idea and they are naturally gluten free which is a huge bonus!
I went to an apple tasting/ festival thing at a local nursery yesterday and came home with about 30# of apples. So thank you, perfect timing! There’s only so much apple sauce/ butter/ pie filling a girl can shove into jars.
This recipe look so delicious! Can’t wait to try it… Happy Sunday 🙂

1. You’re hilarious.
2. That looks delicious. And it’s gluten-free! (like me)
Thank you for sharing this!
I saw this recipe right after I came back from apple picking and knew that I had to try it with some of my fresh apples. It worked out great. Thanks for posting such an easy but tasty recipe.
We’re going apple picking tomorrow so I’m definitely keeping this recipe in mind. 🙂
Yum! And I’ve been thinking about holiday shopping for AGES. I love it so much. (And also need to budget way in advance for it.) I like to shop on etsy, so I stash away Christmas cards year round. It’s so fun to pull them all out in the fall and see the ones I forgot about.
yum!!!

Could you share what kind of apples you used? I’m not super familiar with how each variety holds up to baking and all that good stuff – I’ll do a little googling and I’m sure I’ll find something but I figured a suggestion from what you used would be great!
If you look on allrecipes.com and look for Pecan Pie V it is a great recipe that doesn’t use corn syrup. I’m trying it out now!
Oh looks amazing! and yes, i have questioned couples before. I had a beautiful model friend that married a short chubby ginger. never understood it.
Adorable! Have you made these ahead of time? Wondering how they hold up if made before the company arrives. Thanks for any thoughts.
