Baked Apples With Oats And Brown Sugar Recipe
Baked apples with oats and brown sugar are a warm, cozy treat perfect for fall. Juicy apples are cored and filled with a sweet oat mixture of brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter, then baked until tender and bubbling, creating a delightful blend of soft fruit and crunchy topping.
Equipment
- Apple corer or paring knife
- Mixing bowl
- Fork (or pastry cutter)
- Rimmed baking sheet
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Oven mitts
Ingredients
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 4 medium apples
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Use an apple corer or paring knife to remove the cores from the apples, creating a deep well in the center, then place them on a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a mixing bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Cut in the butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Evenly distribute the oat mixture among the apples, filling each center.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the apples are tender and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the apples before baking.
- Choose firm apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith to maintain structure.
- Adding chopped nuts or raisins to the filling provides extra texture and sweetness.
