Candy Apples

An easy, delicious dessert.
Not healthy, but none the less, tasty!

It is best to use a firm, tart, apples such as Granny Smith. The apples we used were from the orchard, I can't remember the variety. You will see in the final picture, our baked apples didn't hold their shape. A firmer apple will hold it's shape and will look nicer after being baked.

Start by halving and scooping out the centers. I used a small cookie scoop to dig out the seeds.

Next make a crumb mixture of:

• 2/3 cup soft butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup oatmeal
• 1 cup flour

Remove about 1/2 cup or a little more and set aside. To the remaining add 1/3 cup melted butter and stir together. Your mixture should look wet. Fill the apples with the wet mixture.

Sprinkle the dry crumbs on top of the apples.

Bake at 350* for 30- 40 minutes or until the apples are tender.

Serve warm.
