Baked Apples with Oats Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 medium apples
• 2 tablespoons Danish Creamery Unsalted European butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• ½ cup rolled oats
• ½ cup chopped pecans
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• Caramel sauce (for serving)
• Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F. Fill an 8x11" baking dish with about 1–2 inches of water.

2. 2

   Slice the apples in half. Remove the stems and cores with a melon baller or knife and spoon, making sure to leave the bottoms intact.

3. 3

   Place the melted butter, maple syrup, oats, chopped pecans, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir to combine.

4. 4

   Fill each apple half with about ¼ cup of the filling. Arrange the apples in the prepared baking dish. Bake until the pecans are toasted and the apples are softened, 35–40 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

5. 5

   Drizzle with caramel sauce and serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
