List of Ingredients
4 lg., Granny Smith apples
1/4 small lemon
8 dates, chopped
4 T. butter, softened
4 T. brown sugar, packed
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
several gratings of fresh nutmeg
2 T. walnuts or pecans, chopped
1/4 c. old-fashioned rolled oats, not quick cooking
Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350.
Wash and dry the apples, and carefully remove the cores with a small knife, leaving the bottoms intact, to form a cup.
Peel away a strip of skin from the top circumference of the apples. This prevents them from splitting while baking.
Place the apples close together in a small baking pan.
Squeeze the lemon over the apples.
Fill each apple with 1/4 of the chopped dates.
In a small bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg nuts, and oatmeal. Mix together with a fork, to form coarse crumbs.
Spoon crumbs into the apples, mounding them high.
Pour 1/2" of water into the pan.
Place in the oven, and bake until the apples are very tender, and topping is lightly browned and crispy, about 35-45 mins.
Serve in bowls with cream or milk.
