Check out this recipe for a comforting dessert that is perfect for fall! This recipe yields four servings of one stuffed apple half per serving.
Ingredients:
2 medium sweet red apples (such as Gala or Braeburn)
3 tablespoons finely chopped pecans (or substitute walnuts)
2 tablespoons uncooked quick-cooking oats
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon chopped dried cranberries
1 tablespoon cold butter, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon salt
½ cup 100% apple juice
Directions:
Wash your hands before you begin.
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Cut each apple in half horizontally. Use a melon baller or spoon to remove the core from each half, creating a rounded hole.
3. Combine nuts, oats, brown sugar, cranberries, butter, cinnamon, and salt into a bowl. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Fill each apple half with about 2 tablespoons of oat mixture.
4. Place apples in an 8-inch baking dish, and pour apple juice around apples in dish. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
5. Bake for 30 minutes. Then remove foil, and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until the apples are tender and topping is golden brown.
*Baking time will vary depending on the variety, size, and ripeness of the apples. When apples are easily pierced with a toothpick, you know they are finished baking in the oven.
