Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place the apple halves onto cutting board with the flat cut side down. Place chop sticks or wooden spoons above and below the apple. Starting at the outermost edges, cut 1/8” thick slices, cutting down to the chopstick or wooden spoon.
- Place apple halves cut sides down, in an 8-inch square glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray. (See Note 3) Combine 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush mixture evenly over each apple.
- Cover with foil and bake at 400°F for 25-30 minutes. Remove foil. and continue baking for another 10 minutes or until apples are tender. Remove pan from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl combine remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, oats, flour, and salt.
- Carefully fan open the apple halve slices and carefully spoon streusel evenly over apples. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn broiler to high (leave pan in oven) and broil apples 2 minutes. Serve with ice cream and optional caramel sauce.
Notes
- Firm-fleshed apples are needed. Surprisingly, Granny Smith apples do not hold up well. Good options are Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, and Fuji.
- Nutritional information shown does not include ice cream or caramel.
- The apples can be baked in a cast iron skillet/pan, enameled casserole dish, oven-safe glass baking dish, or on a baking stone. All of these worked well for me.
