Recipe Ingredients (11)
For the Granola Streusel:
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (a scant 2/3 stick), melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/3 cup chopped toasted almonds
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
- A pinch of kosher salt
For the Apples:
- 4 to 6 baking apples, peeled and cored but left whole
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- A pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Time to make the streusel! In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter and vanilla. In another bowl, combine the flour, oats, almonds, sugar, and salt. Fork-toss the dry ingredients and then blend in the butter mixture until evenly blended and crumbly.
- A grand time for stuffing! Pack the apple cores brimful with the streusel mixture, distributing it evenly among the apples.
- Carefully place the stuffed apples in a baking dish large enough to accommodate them. Since they don't touch each other, they'll bake up beautifully.
- Stir together the brown sugar, water, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once it begins to boil, pour this rich sauce over the apples in the baking dish.
- Time to bake! Spoon the caramel-y sauce over the apples a few times during the baking process. Leave the oven on, and after 45 minutes, you'll have toothsome, juicy apples that'll make your taste buds dance with delight. Serve warm with the delicious sauce drizzled on top. Enjoy this sweet spin on a classic dessert!
