Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 2 teaspoons Fresh ginger, grated
- 4 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 4 teaspoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.5 cups Apple cider or water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the apples thoroughly and remove the cores using an apple corer or a small paring knife, ensuring you leave the bottom intact to create a cavity for the filling.
In a small bowl, mix together the grated ginger, brown sugar, rolled oats, walnuts (if using), ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Stuff each apple with the filling mixture, pressing it down gently to pack it in.
Place a teaspoon of unsalted butter on top of the filling in each apple.
Arrange the apples in a baking dish and pour the apple cider or water into the bottom of the dish to prevent the apples from drying out.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the filling is bubbly.
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and let the apples cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
