Ingredients

2 apples (recommended: Fuji or McIntosh)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 cup strawberry jam, jelly or preserves
2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter, cold and diced
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup oats, uncooked
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cut each apple in half along its equator. Using a melon baller, cut out each side of the core, creating a rounded hole. Rub exposed apple flesh with lemon juice. Place 1 tablespoon of jam into each hole. For the topping: in a small bowl mix together flour, butter, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon and salt. Press this mixture on the top of each apple, covering jam. Place in a baking dish filled with about a 1/4-inch of water. Bake until top is golden brown and apple is tender, about 35 to 40 minutes.

Excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this twice. First following the directions and the 2nd time making a few modifications. I used Granny Smith... apples and instead of leaving them whole and peeling them, I cut them in slices, left the skin on and poured the jelly, then topping over the top and baked. Easier and still delicious! I found I got more of the jelly flavoring this way. I used seedless and sugar free rasberry jelly, trying to save a few calories.Read more

Perfect!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tried these today using honeycrisp apples and apple jelly instead of the recommended strawberry. Turned out perfectly,... husband and I both thought they were great. This is a prettier presentation than normal apple crisp, isn't too sweet like many recipes, and portion control is easy. In the future I might try microwaving the apples before topping them so they're a bit softer. I'd also like to try stuffing the centers with chopped pecans instead of the jelly--either way I'm sure they will be great.Read more

Just like in Germany!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is delicious - I had something very similar in when living in Germany, and loved it - I wanted to share it with... my husband, and looked through many recipes before finding this one. Sunny has replicated the German recipe... delicious! I tried the butter cold and diced as recommended, but it didn't mix very well, so I warmed the butter, and it not only worked great, but the whole topping was a warm dark brown.Read more

Great dessert
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great for fall or winter nights. I've used both strawberry and orange marmalade, both of which were very good. Its also nice... at impressing people who don't cook much beyond frozen pizza. BF said something like "wow you put fruit in the oven!?" :) Read more

Awesome Apples
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great recipe! I didn't have any problem getting the middle of the apples to be soft but I did have trouble with them... flipping over into the water. I'll have to try a smaller pan next time or biscuit cutters around the apples. Overall, I look forward to using this recipe again!Read more
