Description
Warm, gooey, and full of comforting flavor—these Honey Cinnamon Baked Apples are a fall favorite with a crunchy twist. Stuffed with sweet oats and brown sugar, then topped with crisp honey cinnamon roasted pumpkin seeds, they’re like apple crisp in a tidy, edible bowl. Dessert or breakfast? You decide.
Ingredients
4 medium apples (like Honeycrisp or Fuji)
½ cup rolled oats
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp butter, melted
¼ cup Honey Cinnamon Roasted Pumpkin Seeds (see previous recipe)
Optional: drizzle of honey or maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat oven: Set to 350°F (175°C).
Core the apples: Remove cores, leaving the bottom intact to form a “bowl.”
Make filling: Mix oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl.
Fill apples: Spoon the oat mixture into each apple.
Bake: Place apples in a baking dish, add a bit of water to the bottom, cover with foil, and bake for 25 minutes.
Top & finish: Remove foil, top apples with roasted pumpkin seeds, and bake uncovered for another 10–15 minutes until tender.
Serve warm: Add a drizzle of honey or a scoop of vanilla yogurt or ice cream if you like.
