Crunchy Baked Apples
Ingredients
- 8 apples - Golden Delicious McIntosh or Winesap
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 1 cup granola cereal
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup apple juice
- light or heavy cream optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350-F degrees. Wash and core apples, leaving skins on. Soften butter, and mix with granola, brown sugar, and salt. Set the apples in a baking dish, and pack cereal mixture into their centers. Pour apple juice around apples. Slide into oven, and allow to bake until tender (usually a half hour will do it). Now it’s your choice - you can serve these crunchy breakfast treats hot, warm, at room temperature, or even chilled. Let the day and people’s schedules help you decide.In any case, you’ll want to serve them with some of the baking juices - and, if you like, with cream to pour over, too. (Of course, this brings to mind the idea of ice cream; but that’s for later in the day or evening, right?)
