Get the Recipe: Chocolate Stuffed Baked Apples
Stuffed Baked Apples are the perfect fall dessert recipe! Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an amazing, easy dessert!
Ingredients
- 4 medium apples
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats
- ¼ cup chopped pecans, plus more for topping
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
- Caramel sauce, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8x8 baking dish.
- Make the filling by combining the oats, pecans, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the melted butter and stir to combine. Set aside to cool before adding chocolate chips.
- Core and remove the insides of each apple with a spoon or melon baller, being careful not to damage the bottom and sides of the apples (or they won’t hold the filling). Set aside.
- Once the filling is cooled to room temperature, stir in the mini chocolate chips.
- Fill each apple with the filling and place them in the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are softened and the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and drizzle with caramel sauce if desired
Notes
- These keep well in the fridge for up to 2 days, just reheat in the microwave in 30 second increments. I do not recommend freezing them.
- Don’t add the chocolate chips until the filling has cooled, otherwise they’ll melt!
