Crisp Stuffed Apples
November always makes me think of warm apple pie, crisp morning air, and the transition into the winter months. Fresh apple juice straight from the orchard to the juicer is a favorite in our house, and I still remember my mom making spiced baked apples as a little girl. It was a sweet and healthy after school snack.
With the holidays upon us, I wanted to try something a little different. Because I am NOT great at baking, I thought I would try something a little easier for desert. This got a big thumbs up in our house and I hope you give it a try, or take you own spin on it!
Ingredients
8 apples
4 Tablespoons butter
¼ cup light brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Crumble Topping
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup oats
¼ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 Tablespoons butter, chilled and cubed
Preheat oven to 400° F.
STEP 1: Make the crumble topping
In a medium bowl mix together flour, oats, brown sugar, sugar and cinnamon. Cut in the butter with a knife or forks until it’s crumbly. Set aside for a few minutes.
STEP 2: Peel and chop 2 of the apples.
Add chopped apples, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to a medium sauce pan and stir over medium heat until apples are tender.
STEP 3: Cut the tops off of the remaining 6 apples and use a spoon to scoop out the core just enough to make a bowl for the filling.
STEP 4: Fill the apples with the warm apple filling from sauce pan. Top with a generous amount of crumble topping.
STEP 5: Place stuffed apples on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Bon Appetite!
