Ingredients

4 medium sized apples I use Honeycrisp
¼ cup all purpose flour
⅓ cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans or walnuts
½ cup old fashioned oats
4 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter cubed
vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Core each apple, leaving the bottom of the apple intact. Use a small melon baller or spoon to scoop out a little bit of the top and inside flesh to form a cavity. Alternately: Halve each apple lengthwise and use a melon baller or small spoon to scoop out the core and form a cavity.
For the filling: combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, nuts, and oats. Add the butter, and use your fingers to rub the butter into the dry ingredients.
Divide the filling between the prepared apples. Place the apples in a baking dish, and fill the bottom of the baking dish with about an inch of water.
Cover the baking dish with foil, bake for 25 minutes covered. Uncover and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown, and the apples are tender but still holding their shape (this will depend on the size of the apples). Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce.
