Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 large honey crisp apples
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and separated
- 1 cup of your favorite granola
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and core apples about half way with an apple core-er or a sharp spoon. Create a well on the top of each apple and place the apples in the baking dish.
- Using a pastry brush, wipe each apple with melted butter and place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- While the apples are baking, place the remaining butter into a mixing bowl along with the granola, cinnamon, cardamom, salt and maple syrup. Mix the ingredients together until the granola is coated. Set aside.
- Remove the apples from the oven and add ¼ cup of the granola mixture into the middle of each apple. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for another 30-40 minutes or until the apples are softened.
- Remove the apples from the oven and uncover the apples. Let the rest for 10 minutes and then serve them with a nut butter drizzle or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- You can use whatever apples you have on hand.
- When we say use your favorite granola, we mean it! Your baked apples will take on the flavors of the granola you choose.
