Description
Apple Crisp Stuffed Apples! A fun and healthier way to eat your apples (and a crisp!).
Ingredients
Units
Scale
4 medium red apples (whatever you prefer)
8 teaspoons light brown sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
4 pinches salt, divided
1/2 cup oat flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
4 tablespoons chopped pecans
4 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat the bottom of an 8-inch square pan with some of the butter.
- Cut off the top of the apples (around the stem). Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out the seeds and core of the apple and discard. Then, scoop out the flesh of each apple, leaving about ⅛-inch-thick shell. Place the apples in the prepared baking pan.
- Finely chop the apple pulp and transfer to a medium bowl. Add 4 teaspoons brown sugar, vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 2 pinches of salt. Stir well. Spoon equally into the apples.
- In the same bowl, combine flour, oats, pecans, the remaining 4 teaspoons brown sugar, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and the remaining salt. Using your fingers, mix the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles small pebbles.
- Spoon about ¼ cup topping onto each apple, mixing it slightly with the filling. Place in the oven and bake until the apples are tender and the tops are browned and slightly bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Don’t worry if the topping spills over the sides, get as much of the crisp topping as you can into the apples.
- Go the distance and serve with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.
