Apples
- 4 large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
Filling
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Prepare the apples: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Using a paring knife or apple corer, carefully remove the core and seeds from each apple, creating a hollow cavity for the filling. Make sure not to puncture the bottom of the apple.
- Make the crisp topping: In a medium bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture has a crumbly texture.
- Stuff the apples: Spoon the oat mixture into the hollowed center of each apple, pressing lightly to fill the cavities completely.
- Bake the apples: Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the topping is golden brown.
- Serve: Let the apples cool for a few minutes before serving warm. Optionally, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
Notes
- Choose firm apples that hold their shape well, such as Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji.
- You can add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the topping for added texture and flavor.
- For a vegan option, substitute butter with coconut oil or a vegan butter alternative.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream as an optional accompaniment.
- To avoid sticking, grease the baking dish lightly before placing the stuffed apples.
