Blistered Jalapleño & Fig Stuffed Apples
Butter, brown sugar and cinnamon are the Holy Trinity of autumn flavors. They form the base of this classic stuffed apple dish, elevated with the complexity of my Blistered Jalapeño & Fig spread.
This gourmet version is overloaded with pecans that caramelize in the oven. The spices and apple sugars blend to make your house smell as awesome as these Blistered Jalapeño & Fig stuffed apples taste!-- Annette
