Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Gala or Honeycrisp apples
CRUMBLE:
- 1/3 cup of brown sugar
- 1 cup of oats
- 1/4 cup of molasses
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons of softened butter
Liquid for around apples: 1/2 cup of apple cider
SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375•.
- Mix brown sugar, oats, molasses, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl.
- Using a fork, cut in butter until the mixture resembles a crumble.
- Slice 1/2 inch off the top of the apple and remove the center core and any seeds.
- Place apples in a small baking dish, cut side up.
- Insert the crumble mixture into each apple, filling the apple to the very top.
- Pour the apple cider around the base of the apples to help them steam.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the apples are soft. Depending on the apple you are using, this could take 35-45 minutes. Check apples by gently piercing them with a knife for a softness check.
- While the apples are baking, make the salted caramel sauce by placing all ingredients except vanilla in a small saucepan on low heat. Observing and string constantly, bring to a boil and remove from heat.
- Add vanilla and pour into a jar with a lid.
- Top apples with a spoonful of salted caramel or a scoop of ice cream.
