Nothing screams fall like warm spiced baked apples. Stuff those baked apples with a delicious double crisp filling and top with ice cream and caramel sauce for the perfect fall treat!
The leaves are starting to fall and I’ve been rocking the Ugg boots and plaid for weeks now (so classy I know!). Fall is in full swing here and I’m obsessing about all things apple and pumpkin and acorn squash.
Baked apples are pure fall comfort food and this recipe? I hate to brag but I’m pretty sure they are the best baked apples I’ve ever eaten.
Scooping out the apple cups is a few minutes of focused effort but really isn’t hard at all. Using a sharp spoon, or a measuring spoon with sharp edges also works fabulously. Then brush the apples with butter and pop them in the oven!
Next up is the apple crisp filling. We made apple pie filling basically, added copious amounts of oatmeal and pecans and… here is the secret we discovered… melt scoops of ice cream into the filling before you even bake them. The filling without it is also delicious and what you see photographed here, but melting down ice cream into them and baking again? Even better!
Why didn’t anyone ever tell me this was a thing to do? Allow me to be the person to tell you… this is a really good idea!
Stuff the apple crisp filling into the apples and pop them back into the oven to finish cooking. Pull them out piping hot and serve them right away. Top each apple with more ice cream, chopped pecans and caramel sauce. Even if you know not everyone will eat one, put ice cream on all of them. It’s even better the next day, I promise!
