A delightful dessert featuring baked apples stuffed with a sweet and spiced oat mixture, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and position the rack in the middle.
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the apples.
In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter until well mixed.
Use softened butter for easier mixing.
Slice off the top of each apple and remove the core using a melon baller, leaving the bottom intact.
Be careful not to puncture the bottom of the apple to keep the filling contained.
Fill each apple with the prepared oat mixture, pressing gently to pack it in.
Mound the filling slightly above the apple's top for a generous portion.
Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the topping is golden.
Check the apples for tenderness by piercing with a fork.
Let the baked apples cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Serving warm enhances the flavors and aroma of the dessert.
