Description
These baked apples are the essence of cozy comfort. Each apple is filled with a warm, nutty mixture of oats, pecans, maple syrup, and cinnamon, then baked until perfectly tender. A rustic dessert that’s naturally sweet and deeply satisfying. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream to make it unforgettable.
Ingredients
4 medium apples (Honeycrisp or Gala work well)
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons melted butter
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Core apples, leaving the bottom intact to form a well.
In a bowl, mix oats, pecans, maple syrup, cinnamon, butter, and salt.
Spoon the filling into each apple.
Place apples in a baking dish with a splash of water at the bottom. Cover with foil.
Bake for 25–30 minutes until apples are tender. Uncover for the last 5 minutes to brown the tops slightly.
Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
