Can you ever get enough of apple recipes? I think not! I’m always looking for new ways to make apples treats for my family.

Like bananas, apples are generally so affordable and so versatile I always have them on hand. When I realize that I may have bought too many and they aren’t going to all get eaten raw before going bad I turn to my stash of apple recipes and get to baking!

These Baked Apples are so easy even my six year old can help prep them, and the taste is just delicious!

Why I Love These Simple Baked Apples

One of my favorite things about this recipe is how easy it is to customize to your own taste. Don’t like almonds? Leave them out, or substitute your own favorite nut. Nut allergy? Leave them out altogether! The delicious base of the oatmeal crisp allows you to add as much or as little extra flavor as you prefer.

What Are the Best Apples for Baked Apples?

And while I use gala apples you can also customize with your favorite apple variety. I prefer this recipe with sweet apples like Honeycrisp over more tart varieties like Granny Smith.

  1. These recipes sound so good. I always remember my mother baking all sorts of stuff with apples in the fall. She used to get boxes of apples from New York when my step-father was alive and a truck driver and he would drive through there.
