Servings: 2 servings
Equipment
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
- ¼ cup boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Rinse and dry the apples. Core them with a knife or apple corer, leaving about ½ inch at the bottom to form a well about 1 inch wide.
- In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spoon the mixture into the apple wells, pressing it in firmly.
- Place the apples in a small baking dish and top each with ¼ tablespoon butter.
- Pour hot water into the bottom of the dish.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the apples are tender.
- Remove from the oven and spoon the pan juices over the apples before serving.
Notes
- Core Easily: Use a spoon or apple corer to remove seeds and create a clean well for the filling.
- Check Size: Larger apples may need more baking time. Test doneness by piercing the thickest part with a fork, if it’s soft, they’re ready.
- Add Water: Pour boiling water into the baking dish to soften the apples and keep them from sticking.
- Mix Well: Combine the brown sugar, oats, spices, and butter thoroughly so every bite is flavorful.
