Hasselback Apples

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400u00b0.

2. 2

   Starting at the outermost edges, cut most (but not all) of the way through each apple half at 1/8-inch intervals. Place apple halves, cut sides down, in an 8-inch square glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray. Combine 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; brush mixture evenly over apple.

3. 3

   Cover pan with foil; bake at 400u00b0 for 20 minutes. Remove foil. Bake at 400u00b0 for 10 minutes or until apples are tender. Remove pan from oven; cool 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Combine remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, oats, flour, and salt. Carefully fan open apple halves. Spoon oat mixture evenly over apples. Bake at 400u00b0 for 10 minutes. Turn broiler to high (leave pan in oven); broil 2 minutes. Serve with ice cream.
