Baked Apples with Coconut Oatmeal Streusel

I have had a lot of fun baking yummy apple treats last week for a recent Fox59 Segment! And this is one more yummy apple treat I’m excited to share with you: Baked Apples with Coconut Oatmeal Streusel!

I love how baking apples almost caramelizes the juices and it makes it into a warm tasty treat! Yummy!

These Baked Apples came from the idea of combining a plain baked apple, with my recipe for Homemade Coconut Granola and are super tasty and super simple!

Baked Apples with Coconut Oatmeal Streusel
Yields 4 servings

Ingredients:

2 medium sized apples, any variety
1/4 cup quick oats
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sweetened coconut flakes
1/8 cup canola oil
1 pinch salt
1 dash vanilla

Directions:

Cut apples in half and core. (I used a metal tablespoon to take the core out, but if you have an actual corer, I would core the apple first and then cut in half.)
In a bowl, combine all ingredients except apples and mix with hands pressing together.
Using the same tablespoon, place a rounded tablespoon of oatmeal streusel into the center of each apple.
Place apples into a greased 8″x8″ pan.
Bake at 375 degrees F for approximately 35 minutes until apples are soft when a fork is inserted into them.

Enjoy with a side of vanilla ice cream, topped with my Mom’s Caramel Sauce and/or whipped cream!

Delicious!

I used a metal tablespoon to take the core out of the center of the apples and to put the streusel in.
