These Simple Baked Apples use just a handful of ingredients to make a delicious fall dessert. Serve with caramel sauce for a more elegant twist on an apple crisp!
Core and slightly hollow out the apples beyond the cored center. (Don’t go too far or the apple will lose its shape when baked). Place the apples in a baking dish.
Mix together the oats, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
Add the softened butter to the mixture, mixing gently with your fingers until thoroughly incorporated.
Lightly add the filling to the apples. (Do not pack inside or the mixture will expand and the apple will burst!)
Bake for 30 minutes.
Serve warm, drizzled with caramel sauce.
Notes
I like to use Golden Delicious apples for this recipe.
