Cast Iron Skillet Baked Apple
Yummy oats and walnuts make the perfect dessert on a crisp fall night!
Ingredient List
- 1 tablespoon rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon walnuts minced
- Scant 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/8 teaspoon apple pie spice
- Pinch of salt
- 1 firm baking apple
- 3 tablespoons apple juice or cider
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350-degrees.
- In a small bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Then, using a fork, cut in the butter.
- Core the apple and peel the top third or so. You can use a melon baller to make the opening in the apple a little larger if you like.
- Fill the hole with the oat mixture, pressing it down into the core.
- You'll have more filling than what can fit in the apple, and that's OK. Mound the extra up on the top.
- Place the apple in the skillet.
- Pour the liquid in the bottom of the iron skillet.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and baste with the liquid every 15 minutes.
- Finish baking until the apple is tender.
Don't worry if the baked apple falls a bit after baking – it's still tasty!
Oh, and just like pie and crisps, baked apples are totally scrumptious with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. I hope you will give this recipe a try!
