Ingredients

  • 6 firm fresh-picked apples
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, softened
  • 1 cup muesli cereal with dried fruit
  • 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 2 pints vanilla bean ice cream
  • Cooking Directions

    Preheat the oven to 425°F.

    Trim the tops of the apples and scoop out the center and seeds with a small melon baller. Wipe the edges of the trimmed fruit with lemon.

    Combine the butter, cereal, sugar, nuts, citrus zest, and spices and then fill the apples.

    Set the apples upright in a baking dish or muffin tin and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until tender. Top with ice cream and serve hot.
