Ingredients

• 4 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work well)
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

How to Make Baked Cinnamon Apples

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Wash and core the apples, leaving the bottom intact to hold the filling. You can use an apple corer or a knife to carefully remove the core.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), melted butter, rolled oats, flour, and chopped nuts. Mix until crumbly.
4. Stuff each apple with the crumb mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.
5. Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish and pour a little water (about 1/4 cup) into the bottom of the dish to create steam while baking.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before drizzling with caramel sauce.
8. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Tips for the Best Results

• Choose firm apples to prevent them from turning mushy during baking.
• Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar to your filling.
• For an extra flavor kick, try adding a splash of vanilla extract to the filling mixture.
• If you prefer a crunchier topping, broil the apples for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.

Easy Variations

• Add dried fruit such as raisins or cranberries to the filling for added sweetness.
• Swap out the nuts for granola for a different texture.
• Experiment with spices like ginger or cloves to customize the flavor profile.
• Top with whipped cream instead of ice cream for a lighter option.

What to Serve With It

• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic pairing.
• A dollop of Greek yogurt for a tangy contrast.
• A side of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
• A sprinkle of powdered sugar for a touch of elegance.
