Chef's Pro-Tips

  • Ensure Balanced Room Temperature: Having butter, milk, and eggs at comfortable room temperature allows emulsions to form cleanly, resulting in the tenderest crumb for baked apple crisp stuffed apples.
  • Test with a Toothpick: Insert a wooden skewer or toothpick into the center; look for a few moist crumbs rather than wet batter or a bone-dry stick.

Ingredients
4 servings

  • 4 large Honeycrisp or Fuji apples, cored leaving bottom intact
  • ¾ cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp cold butter, cubed
