Be the first to rate it
Two apples are filled with oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon, then baked in a small dish with hot water until tender.
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ cup old-fashioned oats
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ tablespoon salted butter divided
- ¼ cup boiling water
Equipment
- mixing bowl
Directions
- Heat the oven to 375°F. Core each apple from the stem end without cutting through the bottom. Leave about ½ inch of apple at the base.
- Mix the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Press the mixture into the apple centers.
- Set the apples in a 5-inch baking dish. Divide the ½ tablespoon butter between them and dot it over the filling.
- Pour the boiling water into the dish around the apples, not over them.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a knife slides into the apples easily. Spoon the juices over the apples and let them cool a little before serving.
