What is a sweet dish you can cook with few ingredients?

This dessert requires just a handful of ingredients and minimal effort, yet it's incredibly comforting and flavorful.

Ingredients:

* 4 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji work well)

* 2 tablespoons brown sugar

* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

* 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

* 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for added richness)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Core the apples and place them in a baking dish.

3. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).

4. Fill the core cavity of each apple with the sugar mixture.

5. If desired, place a small pat of butter on top of each apple.

6. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the sugar mixture is bubbly.

7. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Variations:

* Add a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch.

* Use honey instead of brown sugar for a less sweet option.

* Drizzle with a little maple syrup before serving for a touch of caramel flavor.

Enjoy!
