Soda Baked Apples

It's time to cook something else, something sweet

Why don't we make us a nice apple for dessert? I adore baked apples

I do, too. All right, well, you want to start by coring our apples. OK

So we're going to do all these apples, or? Yes, we're going to cook six apples

OK. I'm going to put one cup of packed brown sugar in our bowl

a stick of softened butter, a teaspoon of cinnamon, and a half a cup of raisins

You gave me the apples because this is a messy job. You know I know how to handle the messy jobs, huh

Do I look stupid? All righty. Now I'm just going to take my knife

and I'm going to cut that butter into our sugar and our cinnamon, our raisins

This is going to go in the center of our apples. How are you coming, baby

I'm good. You're doing a good job. All right, so if you'd sit those in our baking dish

you might want to just spray it just up. Yeah, just to make sure we can get them out

Layla, when you were boxing, did your dad ever give you any pointers

Well, my dad was always talking about using your jab. You know what a jab is, Paula? That

Watch it now because I might have a reflex hit your back No I playing I would never hit you Paula I just playing But yeah that your jab depending on what hand And that the punch that used to set up all the other punches you know so you want to keep somebody

on the end, right? And then you kind of get them looking at that, and that's when you come with other

Good job! See? Good! You got a little fight in you. See, I knew you were holding something

back. You're a little too feisty not to. So that's the way you do it. That's the way you do it

Now, I'm pouring one can of a cola over these apples. These look delicious

So, y'all, let's get this in the oven because there's something back there that's still calling my name

Yes, yes. So, we're going to put this in the oven, y'all. $3.50, we're going to bake them for about an hour

Our baked apples are out. I've got a little ice cream to go with

Oh, yes. Let's dip up our apples. Is this vanilla ice cream my favorite

I am too. I'm swallowing very, very hard. I'm super excited. I get that

Okay. Mm-mm-mm-mm. Look at all that, that raisin goodness and brown sugar goodness

This is so good. I'm adding a few things to my arsenal. Mm
