This recipe transforms a few simple ingredients into a comforting dish that's perfect for autumn evenings or as a scrumptious end to any meal. The combination of tender baked apples, rich maple syrup, and crunchy granola creates a taste and texture sensation that's sure to impress.

Ingredients:

4 large (3-1/4" diaaapples)
890g
2 tbsp butter
27g
1 tbsp maple syrup
20g
1/4 tsp cinnamon
0.65g
1 cup granola
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Apples:
- Wash and dry the apples.
- Using a knife or an apple corer, carefully core out the center of each apple, making sure to leave about 1/2 inch of the apple intact at the bottom to hold the filling. Scoop out any seeds and tough core material, creating a hollow center for the filling.
3. Prepare Filling:
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Mix until well blended.
4. Stuff the Apples:
- Place the apples in a baking dish.
- Spoon the butter, maple syrup, and cinnamon mixture evenly into the cavities of each apple.
5. Add Granola:
- Distribute the granola evenly into the cavities of the apples, pressing it down lightly to ensure each apple gets a generous amount.
6. Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake the apples for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork and the granola is golden.
7. Serve:
- Remove the apples from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.

Tips:

- Use firm apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to ensure they hold their shape during baking.

- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of nutmeg or a few drops of vanilla extract to the cinnamon and maple syrup mixture.

- You can customize the granola topping with your favorite nuts, seeds, or dried fruits for added texture and nutrition.

- If you prefer a softer texture, bake the apples a bit longer until they reach your desired level of tenderness.

- Serve the baked apples warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, to enhance the dessert experience.

There you have it, a delicious and easy recipe for baked apples with maple syrup and granola. With minimal prep and cook time, this dish is a fantastic way to enjoy the flavors of fall. Serve it warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, and savor the delightful contrast of textures and flavors. Enjoy!
