Description
Nothing like getting the kids to try some healthy apples by baking them into a warm, bubbly, crumbly, sweet dessert and serving it with cold vanilla ice cream! This recipe is fun, easy and gives kids lots of opportunities to work with the beautiful APPLE!
Ingredients
- 4 medium APPLES peeled & sliced or diced
- 3/4 cup packed BROWN SUGAR (kids love doing the packing!)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose WHITE FLOUR (use whole wheat to healthy it up but it will slightly change the texture.)
- 1/2 cup quick-cooking or OLD-FASHIONED OATS
- 1/2 cup BUTTER, softened (just leave out on the counter for 30 minutes, do not melt)
- 1 teaspoon CINNAMON
- 1/2 teaspoon NUTMEG (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray medium size baking dish with cooking spray or go old-school and slather with butter or shortening.
- Peel apples, the slice or dice and place in dish. I like to dice because my kids will eat bite-sized pieces of new things better than big pieces.
- Mix all the rest of the ingredients and sprinkle on top.
- Bake 30 minutes until golden brown
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!
Notes
- Green apples hold up good. I used Fuji apples from my tree and they did great. Galas or other softer apples will do fine but just give you a little mushier dish, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing!
- I used a round white ceramic baking dish but you can use anything that is about the size of an 8 x 8 inch square pan.
- Nutmeg has a beautiful complex flavor but if your kids are choosey with flavors (like mine), just leave it out. If you want to go for it, try getting a nugget and grating it, smells soooo good, really different than the bottled kind, but any will do in a pinch!
