Make these classic baked apples stuffed with a brown sugar, oat, and spice mixture. They are a simple, tender dessert perfect for fall evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large baking apples (like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a small baking dish.
  2. Wash the apples. Use a sharp knife or apple corer to remove the core from the top down, leaving about a half-inch of apple at the bottom intact so the filling stays inside. Do not cut all the way through the bottom.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Mix well.
  4. Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Spoon the oat mixture evenly into the center of each cored apple, packing it down lightly.
  6. Place the stuffed apples into the prepared baking dish. Pour the 1/4 cup of water into the bottom of the dish around the apples.
  7. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
  8. Carefully remove the apples from the oven. Let them cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

  • Serve these warm baked apples with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra treat.
  • If you prefer a softer apple, you can peel the apples before coring them.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute maple syrup for some of the brown sugar in the filling.
