Easy Bloomin’ Apples Recipe – We took inspo from the ever popular bloomin’ onion and made a just as fun dessert.
Though these finished bloomin’ apples look insane, they’re actually quite easy to make. Because apples can turn brown really quickly, you’ll want to brush them with butter and get them in the oven pretty quickly after slicing them.
If you want to take your time, squeeze lemon juice all over the cut side to prevent browning. These are also so fun to make in the air fryer!
