Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large baking apples (e.g., Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a paring knife or an apple corer, carefully remove the cores of the apples while leaving the bottom intact to create a well for the filling.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, ground cloves, and chopped nuts and raisins (if using). Mix well.
Add the vanilla extract to the mixture, then stir in the softened unsalted butter until the mixture resembles a crumbly paste.
Place the cored apples in a baking dish. Ensure they are sitting upright.
Spoon the oat mixture evenly into the hollowed-out centers of the apples, packing it in gently.
Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish to create steam and keep the apples moist during baking.
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake the apples in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is golden and bubbling.
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and let the apples cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
