Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium apple
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons rolled oats (optional)
- as desired whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the apples and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the core and seeds with a spoon or a small knife, creating a small hollow in the center of each half.
Place the apple halves cut-side up in a baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, brown sugar, and rolled oats (if using). Mix well.
Add softened butter and vanilla extract to the mixture. Use a fork to combine, forming a crumbly topping.
Spoon the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the hollowed-out centers of the apples, pressing lightly to pack it in.
Bake the apples in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they are soft and tender. A fork should easily pierce through the flesh.
Remove the apples from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
