These baked cinnamon apples are so simple to make, they just might beat apple pie! Bake the apples cut in halves. You could go the more traditional route and make a well in the center of each apple and stuff the topping down the middle, but by halving the apples, we use more topping. We like our topping-to-apple ratio to be high.

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 50 minutes
Yield: Makes 6 (1/2 apple) Servings
Ingredients:
| 3 medium firm, sweet apples, like Honeycrisp or Fuji |
| 1 tablespoon brown sugar |
| 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
| 8 tablespoons (115 g) unsalted butter (1 stick) |
| 3/4 cup (105 g) all-purpose flour |
| 3/4 cup (65 g) old-fashioned rolled oats |
| 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar |
| 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
| 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt |
| Vanilla ice cream |
| Salted caramel sauce, see our easy homemade caramel sauce |
Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray a baking dish large enough to fit 6 apple halves with non-stick cooking spray.
- Halve the apples from stem to end and use a spoon to scoop out the core, seeds, and stem. Arrange the apple halves in the baking dish with the flesh facing up. Scatter 1-tablespoon of brown sugar and a 1/4-teaspoon of cinnamon over the apples.
- Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat then stir the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt into the melted butter (doing this directly in the saucepan reduces dishes).
- Divide the topping between the apples, lightly pressing it down onto the apples.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake 25 minutes. Uncover the apples then bake another 20 to 30 minutes until the apples are soft and the topping has browned.
- Serve with a scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or plain. The apples will keep for up to a week, simply reheat in a warm oven or in the microwave.
