Make tender whole baked apples filled with a warm mixture of brown sugar, cinnamon, and oats. This is a simple, comforting fall dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium firm apples (like Honeycrisp or Fuji)
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons 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 melon baller or small spoon to carefully core the center of each apple, leaving about a half-inch of apple flesh at the bottom to hold the filling. Do not cut all the way through the bottom.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Stuff the oat mixture evenly into the cored center of each apple.
  5. Place a small piece of butter on top of the filling in each apple.
  6. Pour the 1/4 cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish.
  7. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork. Basting the apples with the pan liquid halfway through baking is optional.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute maple syrup for the brown sugar.
  • If you prefer a softer texture, peel the apples before coring them.
  • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
