Ingredients
4 apples, such as honeycrisp
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/4 c. old fashioned oats
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
1/4 c. chopped pecans
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
Pinch kosher salt
Ice cream, for serving
Preparation
Step 1Preheat oven to 375°. Core apples with a melon baller without cutting through the bottom. Step 2In a medium bowl mix together butter, oats, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Step 3 Stuff butter mixture evenly into each apple. Step 4Place apples in a small baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes and then remove foil. Step 5Continue baking until apples are tender and the insides are syrupy, another 20 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream, if desired.
Because every apple’s moisture content varies, the exact cooking time will also vary. We recommend checking your apple’s doneness starting at 40 minutes; if they aren’t quite tender enough at 50 minutes of bake time, don’t be surprised if they take up to a whole hour to get to that perfectly syrupy stage.
