Baked Apples with Oatmeal
Description
Baked Apples with Oatmeal uses whole baking apples cored to create a cavity for a filling made from rolled oats, brown sugar, apple pie spice, and softened butter. The apples bake until tender, while the oat mixture develops a slightly crisped surface that contrasts with the soft fruit beneath. The apple pie spice adds classic mild spiced warmth, though cinnamon alone can be used if preferred. The method involves stuffing the apples and baking them on a parchment-lined tray for about 30 minutes, which suits standard medium-sized apples.
The combination of oats and butter gives a hearty texture and mild sweetness balanced by the natural tartness and softness of the baked apples. This dish can be served warm as a breakfast treat or a dessert. Optional additions like chopped nuts or raisins can customize the oatmeal filling, adding flavor and texture variations.
Choosing the right apple variety affects the final taste and baking time; firmer varieties hold their shape better and may require slight timing adjustments. This recipe allows flexibility for ingredient substitutions and additions within the filling to suit individual preferences or dietary needs.
Ingredients
- 4 apple baking
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 1/4 cup butter at cool room temperature, salted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easier clean up. Set aside.

- In a medium bowl, stir oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon together.
- Stir in butter until combined.
- Spoon 1/4 of the oat mixture into each apple, slightly mounding the filling.
- Place apples on prepared rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake until apples are tender and filling is lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
Notes
- Use baking apples like Granny Smith, Jonagold, or Honeycrisp for best results.
