Name: Apple-Crisp Baked Apples
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/3 cup walnuts, chopped medium fine; 1/3 cup pecans, chopped medium fine; 1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom; 1/4 cup rolled oats; 4 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small cubes; 6 medium Pink Lady or Jazz apples, or other firm baking variety; 1 1/2 cups apple cider

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0. In a small bowl combine walnuts, pecans, sugar, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, and oats. Add butter cubes and toss to combine.
2
Peel the top third of each apple and, using a melon baller, scoop out the stem and enough of the core so that the walls of the apple are about 1/2 in. thick. Take care, however, not to break through the bottom of the apple, or the filling will leak out when baking. Make the hole a bit wider at the top.
3
Using a small spoon or your fingers, generously stuff each apple; mound extra filling on top.
4
Put the filled apples in a 2-qt. baking dish. Pour cider into the pan around the apples, cover the dish with foil, and bake 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake, basting every 15 minutes, for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, until apples are easily pierced with a sharp knife (they may split open a bit at the bottom). Serve apples drizzled with the sauce from the pan and with a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside.

We recommend using Pink Lady or Jazz (a popular new hybrid) apples, which tend to retain their color and shape better during baking. You can substitute 1/3 cup golden raisins for the walnuts if you like.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
