Baked Apples with Cinnamon-Pecan ToppingBaked Apples with Cinnamon-Pecan Topping — a 45-minute dessert recipe with 7 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

6 Gala apples

1 cup pecan halves

all-purpose flour

brown sugar

butter, unsalted

cinnamon, ground

salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 205°C (400°F). Coat a large baking dish with a thin layer of butter.

Wash, dry, and halve each apple lengthwise; remove stem and core.

Place apples, cut-side down, in the baking dish. Place in the oven (it doesn't have to be fully heated) and bake until apples are partially cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, place flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl; stir to combine.

Using a box grater, coarsely grate cold butter into the bowl with the flour. Using two hands, combine the flour and butter by rubbing the mixture between your thumbs and fingers until it looks crumbly.

Roughly chop pecans and add to the bowl; use your hands to combine the crumble.

Remove apples from the oven and carefully flip over, so the cut-side is facing up. Divide crumble between apples, forming a mound on top of each half. Return to the oven and bake until crumble is golden and apples are fork-tender, 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven.

To serve, divide warm apples between plates and enjoy!
