Baked Apple with Crisp Topping

August 11, 2009


I was searching a sweet dessert to make, and came across this recipe from Sunny Anderson. I read all the rave reviews and decided to make it for dessert. It was super simple, made the house smell great, and the outcome was delicious!! I added pecans to the topping and used Fuji apples (I love Fuji apples). Add a little drizzle of caramel syrup and vanilla ice, so good! You have to try it!!


Cook Time: 40min - Level: Easy - Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 apples (recommended: Fuji or McIntosh)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam, jelly, or preserves
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter, cold and diced
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup oats, uncooked
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cut each apple in half along its equator. Using a melon baller, cut out each side of the core, creating a rounded hole. Rub exposed apple flesh with lemon juice. Place 1 tablespoon of jam into each hole. For the topping: in a small bowl mix together flour, butter, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon and salt. Press this mixture on the top of each apple, covering jam. Place in a baking dish filled with about a 1/4-inch of water. Bake until top is golden brown and apple is tender, about 35 to 40 minutes.
