Ingredients: 4 medium apples (honeycrisp); 1/4 cup butter; 1/4 cup dark brown sugar; 1/2 cup old fashioned oats; 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (freshly grated); 1 splash pure vanilla extract; 1/4 cup pecans (finely chopped plus more for serving); 1/4 cup raisins (optional); 1 pint vanilla ice cream; 1/2 cup butter rum sauce

There’s nothing quite like a baked apple. The smell alone while they bake is phenomenal and the presentation is on point. Yet the fact they are so simple and taste this good, is a marvel.

Translation: these look like more work than they actually are.

Having a dinner party and want to impress? Make this method. Having a fireside fall-inspired meal? You need this method. Love apples, oats, ice cream and butter rum sauce? You know what to do.

In this dish, a simple oat filling gets packed into hollowed out apples and baked.

It’s genuinely that unfussy.

To cook this Baked Apples Recipe Set out:

honeycrisp apples
unsalted butter
old fashioned oats
dark brown sugar
raisins
chopped pecans
cinnamon
nutmeg
kosher salt
pure vanilla extract
vanilla ice cream, for serving
butter rum sauce, for serving

Preheat your oven to 350℉ (or 180℃).

Use a melon baller to scoop the hollow out the core of the apples, be careful not to pierce and go all the way through the bottom of the apple.

Use a vegetable peeler to run it around the top to give it a clean edge/opening.

Set the apples into a baking dish and set off to the side.

In a medium bowl combine the butter, sugar, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg and the vanilla.

Then add in the pecans and raisins, stir to combine.

Spoon the oat filling into the hollowed out apples, press and pack them full.

Cover the apples tightly with foil and bake on the middle rack of your oven for 40 minutes.

Remove the foil and continue bsking for 10 minuts more or until the apple is tender.

FINALLY!

Top the warm baked apples with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle it with butter rum sauce and scatter chopped pecans over top. Unhinge your jaw and inhale. Kidding.

The dependable part is when you cut into the apple and the crumbly oat filling falls out and the ice cream melts into it. It’s so notable. I hope you make this and see what I mean!
