Apple Crisp Stuffed Apples
These apples are simple and delicious and perfect for any week night dessert. All of the yummy goodness of an apple crisp stuffed into fresh apples and topped with vanilla ice cream or yogurt and caramel sauce.
Ingredients
- 8 apples I used small orchard fresh Liberty and golden delicious apples- Fuji, Gala or Granny Smith work well too
- 4 Tablespoons butter lightly browned
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup oats
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 Tablespoons butter chilled and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- For the crisp topping: In a medium bowl whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut in the butter with a pastry knife, or two forks until mixture is crumbly. Set aside.
- Take 2 of the apples and small dice them. In a small pan, lightly brown the butter and add the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Stir over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until apples are tender. Remove from heat.
- Slice the tops off of the remaining 6 apples and use a melon baller to scoop out the core and seeds. Don't scoop all of the middle out, just enough to make a large hole for the filling.
- Fill the scooped-out apples with the warm apple filling from pan. Top with a generous amount of crumble topping.
- Place stuffed apples in a baking dish and bake for 10-15 minutes, covered and then another 10-15 minutes until crumble topping is crispy. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. Enjoy!
