When the weather turns cooler in fall, these baked apples from my mom are sure to warm you up. Our family enjoys them with turkey, pork...even meat loaf. My husband and I like to add a bit more horseradish for extra zip. -Dee Poppie, Gilman, Illinois

Steps:
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- In a bowl, combine all the ingredients except the apples. Set aside.
- Slice a thin layer off the top of each apple. Using a melon baller, dig out the core, leaving the bottom intact. Make a horizontal cut through the peel around each apple so the fruit doesn't burst when baking.
- Place the apples on a 33 x 23-cm (13 x 9-inch) baking dish. Divide the oat mixture among the apples, spooning it into the hollows and mounding it on the tops. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the oat mixture is lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Cool to room temperature. Serve as is or with vanilla ice cream.
SPICED BAKED APPLES
I LOVE harvesttime and being able to cook with all the fresh produce gathered from gardens and groves. Since there's so much of everything, I try to be creative by enhancing old recipes with slight variations. That's what happened with these baked apples. The spices and touch of orange make the flavor just perfect! -Lorraine Chausse Cornwall, Ontario
