Ingredients
- 4 large apples (e.g., Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup water or apple cider
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash and core apples, leaving the bottom intact to hold the filling. Use an apple corer or a small knife to remove the core, creating a cavity about 1 inch wide.
- In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, oats, nuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and softened butter until crumbly.
- Stuff the filling into each apple cavity, pressing gently to pack.
- Place apples in a baking dish just large enough to hold them. Pour water or apple cider into the bottom of the dish (not over the apples).
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, until apples are tender when pierced with a fork. Serve warm with juices from the pan.
Tips
- Choose firm, slightly tart apples that hold their shape during baking.
- Add a tablespoon of maple syrup or honey to the filling for extra sweetness.
- Leftover baked apples can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
