Baked apple

A baked apple stuffed with raisins and nuts

A baked apple is a dish consisting of an apple baked in an oven until it has become soft. The core is usually removed and the resulting cavity stuffed with sweet or savory fillings and seasonings. Pears and quinces may be prepared in the same way.

Baked apples are found in many European cuisines, including colonial ones.[1][2][3][4] In Germany, baked apples are often served during the Christmas season.
