Baked Apples With Oatmeal Filling Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Core each apple making a large well in the center and arrange apples on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Mix oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl; cut in butter until evenly combined. Spoon 1/4 of the oat mixture into each apple.
• Bake in the preheated oven until apples are tender and filling is bubbling, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut off the top third of each apple. With a small knife, and working from the top of each apple, carefully carve out a large "bowl," including the core, about 2 inches in diameter. Rub the cut part with lemon and put the apples into a 9-inch square baking dish. Dice the carved-out parts of the apples, without the seeds, and set aside. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, and then whisk in 4 tablespoons of the muscovado sugar, the cinnamon and pepper and cook until smooth. Brush the inside of the apples with the butter mixture. Pour the apple cider into the bottom of the baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake until the apples are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5 minutes longer. Transfer the apples to a platter. Carefully strain the cooking liquid into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Cook until it is reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. While the apples are baking, stir the hot milk, remaining muscovado sugar, reserved chopped apples and orange zest into the warm oatmeal and cook for a few minutes. Divide the oatmeal among the baked apples. Top each apple with a dollop of yogurt and drizzle the reduced cider over the top.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In 2-quart casserole, mix oats, raisins, 4 cups milk, the brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, salt and apples.
• Bake uncovered 40 to 45 minutes or until most liquid is absorbed. Top with walnuts. Serve with additional milk.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Squeeze juice from lemon halves into a large bowl with 2 cups cold water.
• Peel top third of each apple.
• With a small knife and working from the top of each apple, carefully carve out a large"bowl," including the core, about 2 inches in diameter, leaving the bottom of apple intact.
• Reserve all cut-away pieces.
• Place carved apples in lemon water.
• Chop cut-away apple pieces into small chunks, removing any core or seeds.
• Toss with 3 tablespoons honey and cinnamon; set aside.
• Combine remaining 9 tablespoons honey with 1/2 cup hot water and stir until well blended.
• Stand apples, cut side up, in a 9" x 9" shallow baking dish.
• Place 1 teaspoon butter in bowl of each apple and pour honey and water mixture on top.
• Cover dish with foil and bake until tender, 25 to 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring 1 3/4 cups water and a pinch of salt to a boil.
• Add oatmeal and apple pieces, and stir until mixture returns to a boil; reduce heat and cover.
• Cook until tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Remove apples from oven and carefully fill with oatmeal mixture.
• Top with brown sugar.
• Place under the broiler 1 minute, just until light brown sugar is bubbly and dark brown.
• Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
