Baked Apples With Oats
Description
Baked Apples With Oats combines soft baked apples with a crunchy and fragrant filling made from rolled oats, pecans, cinnamon, maple syrup, and butter. After coring the apples but leaving them whole, they are filled with this mixture and baked in a water bath to keep them moist and tender, allowing the filling to toast lightly on top. The natural sweetness of the maple syrup enhances the fruit, while the addition of butter lends richness.
The resulting dessert has tender, juicy apples surrounding a spiced, nutty oat topping that offers contrasting textures. Drizzling caramel sauce adds a richer sweetness and a glossy finish, while serving with vanilla ice cream can add a cold creamy element.
This dish can be stored in the fridge for up to three days in an airtight container. For gluten-sensitive eaters, swapping regular rolled oats with certified gluten-free oats keeps the recipe inclusive. It is a warm, lightly sweetened baked dessert that works well for cooler weather or anytime a fruit-forward treat is desired.
Ingredients
- 4 apple medium
- 2 tablespoons butter melted, Danish Creamery, unsalted, European style
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- caramel sauce for serving
- vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Fill an 8x8” or 8x11” baking dish with about 1-2 inches of water.
- Remove the stem and core of apples with a melon baller or knife and spoon, making sure to leave the bottoms intact.
- Place the melted butter, maple syrup, oats, chopped pecans and cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
- Fill each half apple with about ¼ cup of the filling and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven until the apples are soft and the pecans are toasted, 35-40 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Drizzle caramel sauce on top right before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute regular rolled oats with certified gluten-free oats to avoid cross-contamination.
