Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith)
- 0.5 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Pecans (optional, chopped)
- 0.25 cup Caramel sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the apples and carefully core them, creating a hollow center without cutting through the bottom. Leave about 1/2 inch at the base to hold the filling.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped pecans (if using).
Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, and pour it into the oat mixture. Add the vanilla extract and mix until the ingredients are well coated.
Stuff each apple with a generous amount of the oat mixture, pressing it down gently to fill the hollowed centers completely.
Place the stuffed apples into a baking dish and pour the water into the bottom of the dish to prevent the apples from drying out as they bake.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of each stuffed apple.
Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is golden and bubbling.
Carefully remove the baked apples from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with extra caramel sauce drizzled on top or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
