Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • ¾ cup uncooked old fashioned oats
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons light butter (chopped (I use Land O’Lakes))
  • 6 medium apples

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Put about ½ inch deep of water in a baking dish and set aside.
  • Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract and salt in a mixing bowl and stir together. Add the chopped butter and use your fingers or a fork to mush the butter into the other ingredients to form crumbles.
  • Use a paring knife and/or a spoon to scoop out the center of your apples, removing the core and seeds but allowing the bottom of the apple to stay intact. I used the knife to get started and then scooped with a spoon. Fill each apple with the filling you made in step two and place the apples into the prepared baking dish.
  • Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until your apples are softened but not mushy/still firm and the top of the filling is crispy. Serve warm.
