Baked Apples
250kcal
Ingredients
Filling
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Apples and Liquid
- 4 large baking apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp
- 1/2 cup water
Equipment
- oven
- baking dish
- paring knife or apple corer
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Using a paring knife or apple corer, carefully remove the core from each apple, creating a well about 1 inch wide that goes almost to the bottom but doesn't pierce through it.
- In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, rolled oats, softened butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chopped walnuts until the mixture is fully incorporated and crumbly.
- Divide the oat filling mixture evenly among the apples, packing it firmly into the hollowed-out cores until slightly mounded on top.
- Place the filled apples in the prepared baking dish and pour the 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of the dish around the apples to create steam.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork but still hold their shape, and the filling is golden brown and bubbly.
