Baked Apples ♥

Tuis Mayıs 21, 2022

Good Morning Friends! Happy Monday!

What do you do on a cold October morning?

First: make coffee

Second: make baked apples!

I love waking up when it's still dark out and putting something yummy in the oven to warm the room and fill the kitchen with all the smells of the season. I saw this recipe on Sally's Baking Addiction and could not stop thinking about it. Especially since I just went apple picking and have a fridge full of apples! : )

I thought it would be a nice treat to have for breakfast. Why not?!

It couldn't have been easier to do and so worth it!

You will need:

4 large apples

3 tbsp softened butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/8 tsp nutmeg

1/4 cup old-fashioned whole oats

Optional: 2 tbsp raisons, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts

3/4 cup warm water

Preheat oven to 375.

Using a fork, mash the butter with the dry ingredients. Set aside.

Wash and core your apples. I used an apple corer to pull out the middle, and then with a knife I made the opening a little bigger and scooped out some of the inside of the apple with a spoon. Just remember not to go through the bottom or your filling will seep out : )

Place your apples in a pie plate or baking dish and fill them. Pour the hot water into the baking dish. This prevents them from sticking or burning.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, depending on how soft you want them. I baked my for 40 minutes and they were perfect. Soft but not mushy ♥
