Granola-Crusted Baked Apples Recipe

American · Dessert · 50 min total

Juicy apples are stuffed with a sweet, crunchy granola mixture and baked until tender, making a comforting dessert that's both healthy and delicious.

Ingredients

• 4 large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
• 1 cup granola (without dried fruit)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup apple cider or water

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Core apples using an apple corer or a melon baller, leaving the bottom intact to form a cup.
3. In a small bowl, combine granola, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until well mixed.
4. Stuff the granola mixture into the apple cavities, packing lightly.
5. Place apples in a baking dish just large enough to hold them. Pour apple cider or water into the bottom of the dish.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the granola topping is golden.
7. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon pan juices over apples if desired.

Tips

• Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in the microwave or oven.
