Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 apples
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup sliced blanched almond
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup semi-salted butter, softened

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Peel and core the apples before baking. You can use a paring knife or an apple corer to do this.
  • To prevent the apples from browning, toss them in a mixture of lemon juice and water before baking.
  • Add sugar, spices, and other flavorings to the apples before baking. Common additions include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • Bake the apples in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-45 minutes, or until they are tender.
  • Serve the baked apples warm or at room temperature. You can top them with whipped cream, ice cream, or caramel sauce.
