Ingredients

  • 2 apples halved (I used honey crisp, but any kind will do)
  • 1 cup granola any kind
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Carefully scoop out apple filling, leaving about ¼ inch apple shell left in skin. Set apples in prepared dish.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together granola, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
  • Spoon mixture into apple halves. Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until apples are tender.
  • Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Inspired by Paula Deen's Fall Baking - 2014 magazine.
  • Apples are best eaten the same day.
