Ingredients
Scale
For the apples:
- 4 large baking apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
For the custard sauce:
- 2 cups whole milk
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Core the apples, leaving the bottoms intact to create a hollow cavity.
- Mix filling: In a bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, nuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, melted butter, and raisins if using. Fill each apple cavity with the mixture.
- Bake: Place apples in a baking dish with water, cover, and bake for 25–30 minutes. Remove foil during the last 10 minutes to brown the tops.
- Make custard: Heat milk in a saucepan. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl. Combine hot milk with egg mixture, return to saucepan, and cook until thickened. Stir in vanilla.
- Serve: Drizzle warm stuffed apples with custard sauce and enjoy!
Notes
- For a lighter option, substitute the custard sauce with vanilla yogurt.
- These apples can be prepared in advance and reheated before serving.
