Description

These Baked Apples with Oatmeal are a warm and comforting dessert perfect for cooler weather. Tender baking apples are cored and filled with a delicious mixture of rolled oats, brown sugar, apple pie spice, and butter, then baked until soft and lightly browned. This easy recipe offers a wholesome treat with a crunchy oat topping and the natural sweetness of apples, ideal for a nutritious snack or a light dessert.

Ingredients

For the Baked Apples

  • 4 baking apples

For the Oatmeal Filling

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
  • ¼ cup salted butter (at cool room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Apples: Core each baking apple carefully without cutting all the way through the bottom, creating a well in the center of each apple for the filling.
  3. Mix Oatmeal Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, light brown sugar, and apple pie spice. Stir until evenly blended.
  4. Add Butter: Incorporate the cooled, room-temperature salted butter into the oat mixture and stir until fully combined forming a crumbly filling.
  5. Fill Apples: Spoon about one-quarter of the oat mixture into the hollowed center of each apple, slightly mounding the filling on top.
  6. Arrange Apples: Place the filled apples upright on the prepared rimmed baking sheet, spaced evenly.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes or until the apples are tender when pierced and the oat topping is lightly browned and crisp.

Notes

  • Select firm baking apples such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Granny Smith for best texture after baking.
  • Make sure the butter is at cool room temperature to blend smoothly with the oats and sugars.
  • Apple pie spice can be substituted with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice if unavailable.
  • For added moisture and flavor, consider drizzling a little honey or maple syrup over the apples before baking.
  • This dessert pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Store leftover baked apples in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.
