Baked Apples

Delicious baked apples bring back so many memories and they very well could be my favorite warm, cozy, healthy-ish Fall desserts, stuffed with brown sugar, nuts, raisins and cinnamon until warm and caramelized. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a more decadent treat.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 apples, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 4 tablespoons room temperature butter
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Vanilla ice cream, optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Use a paring knife or apple corer to remove stems and seeds from the apples, making a deep hole where the filling will go.
  3. Combine brown sugar, butter and cinnamon and rolled oats in a small bowl and mix well to combine. Add the nuts, raisins and rolled oats.
  4. Spoon mixture evenly into each of the apples. Add 1/4 cup of water to a baking dish and place apples on top or you may also use individual ramekins.
  5. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until apples are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Spoon the sauce drippings from the pan over the apples. Serve with ice cream, if desired.
