Make these tender, spiced baked apples stuffed with a simple cinnamon-oat crumble. This easy recipe delivers a warm, comforting fall dessert or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large firm apples (like Honeycrisp or Fuji)
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish.
  2. Wash the apples. Use a small knife or melon baller to carefully core the apples, removing the seeds and center, leaving about a half-inch thick wall around the core cavity. Do not cut all the way through the bottom.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour.
  4. Cut the cold butter into the oat mixture using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Place the cored apples into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Spoon the oat crumble mixture evenly into the center cavity of each apple. Press it down gently.
  7. Pour the water and lemon juice into the bottom of the baking dish around the apples. This creates steam to keep the apples moist.
  8. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
  9. Carefully remove from the oven. Let the apples cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

  • Serve these warm baked apples with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for a richer dessert.
  • If you prefer a softer apple, you can peel the apples before coring them.
  • For a healthier option, reduce the brown sugar to 2 tablespoons and use maple syrup instead of water in the bottom of the dish.
