Description
A simple and delicious recipe for baked apples cooked in the oven, perfect for a healthy dessert or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans), optional
- 1/4 cup rolled oats, optional
- 1/2 cup water or apple cider
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash the apples. Core each apple, leaving the bottom intact to create a well. You can use an apple corer or a small knife.
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, chopped nuts, and oats (if using).
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the core of each apple.
- Place the cored and stuffed apples in a baking dish.
- Pour the water or apple cider into the bottom of the baking dish.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork. Baking time will vary depending on the size and type of apple.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- For a sweeter apple, you can add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the filling mixture.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
- If you don’t have nuts or oats, you can omit them. The apples will still be delicious.
