Delightfully Baked Apples

Baked apples topped with oats, cinnamon and a touch of brown sugar. Easy to make and a great way to use up those apples this Fall! They are like little individual apple crisps without all the added fuss of cutting and peeling the apples. A simple, light dessert for a cool autumn evening, serve this a la mode for an extra special treat!

This recipe was originally posted in 2010. Since so many of you will be going apple picking this Fall, I thought I would re-share this from the archives. You can use any type of apples you wish! To make this dairy-free, you can use coconut oil in place of butter.
