  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
  3. Carefully slice off the top of each apple and remove the core with a coring tool to create space for the caramel.
  4. Make thin, even cuts crosswise into each apple, ensuring not to cut all the way through the bottom.
  5. Stuff each apple with two chewy caramel squares, pushing them gently into the hollow center.
  6. Brush the melted butter mixture generously all over each apple, making sure to cover the slices.
  7. Place the prepared Bloomin’ Apples in the baking dish and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until tender.
  8. Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
