Baked Apples

Bake up warm, tender Baked Apples stuffed with a cozy brown sugar, oat, and cinnamon filling. The perfect autumn recipe!

📝 Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 5 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats
• 3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
• 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (such as pecans, walnuts, or almonds (optional))
• 4 medium baking apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
• 2/3 cup warm water
• Caramel sauce (for serving (optional))

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. 2Mix filling: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and oats. Add the softened butter and mix until well combined. Fold in the dried cranberries and chopped nuts.
3. 3Core apples: Using a paring knife or an apple corer, remove the cores from the apples, being careful to leave the bottoms intact to hold the filling.
4. 4Bake apples: Place the apples in a baking dish. Fill each apple with the sugar-oat mixture, pressing down slightly to pack it in. Pour the warm water into the bottom of the dish around the apples. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
5. 5Drizzle sauce: If using, drizzle caramel sauce over apples. Serve warm.
