Steps:
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat the inside of a 9x13-inch or similar glass or ceramic baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
- Peel the apples, then cut them in half from top to bottom. With a melon baller or small spoon, remove the core. Turn the apples cut-side down on a cutting board. Starting at the outermost edges, cut 1/4-inch slices most (but not all) of the way through each apple. Place apple halves, cut sides down, in the prepared baking dish.
- Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Brush the mixture evenly over each apple.
- Cover the pan with foil. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the pan from oven, uncover, and let cool 10 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
- While the apples cool, make the streusel topping: Melt the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in the same bowl or saucepan used previously. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, oats, flour, and salt. Carefully fan open the apple halves and with a fork or spoon. Work the some streusel between the slices and sprinkle some over the top.
- Return to the pan to the oven and bake uncovered at 425 degrees F until the apples are tender and the topping is brown, about 10 to 15 additional minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with ice cream.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place an apple half cut-side down on a cutting board and cut thin vertical slices into it, being careful not to slice all the way through. Repeat the process with the remaining apple halves. Transfer the apples to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepot. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar until fully incorporated. Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the apples. Bake until the apples have softened, 18 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the streusel topping. In a small bowl, add the oats, flour, cinnamon, salt, remaining 2 tablespoons butter and remaining 3 tablespoons brown sugar. Using a fork or your hands, work the mixture together until it forms a large crumble.
- Top each baked apple with the streusel topping, making sure to get some in between the apple slices. Return the dish to the oven and bake until the topping is golden brown, another 10 to 15 minutes. Serve the apples with a scoop of the ice cream.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with some of the melted butter.
- Peel and halve the apples; cut out the cores and place flat-side down. Using a sharp knife, make slits in each apple half 1/4 inch apart; do not cut through to the bottom. (If you make the slits too close together, the apples will fall apart). Place the apples flat-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Mix 2 tablespoons of the melted butter with 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar in a small bowl with a fork until a paste forms. Spread the mixture on the apples. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake until just tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the streusel. If the granola has big chunks in it, put it in a plastic bag and smash with the back of a measuring cup into smaller crumbles. Mix the granola with the flour, salt, remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar and remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a bowl with a fork until the pieces are moistened and the mixture is clumpy.
- Uncover the apples and spoon the streusel on the tops and in some of the slits, using a fork or the tip of a paring knife to gently separate the flaps. Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, until the apples are tender and the topping is golden, about 20 minutes more.
- Microwave the caramel sauce in a small bowl until warm, about 45 seconds. Stir in the lemon juice. Transfer the apples to plates, drizzle with the caramel sauce and top with whipped cream.
BAKED HASSELBACK APPLES WITH ICE CREAM
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place the apple halves, cut-side down, on a cutting board and slice in 1/8-inch intervals, making sure not to cut all the way through to the bottom. Arrange, cut-side down, in the prepared baking dish.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the oats, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Carefully fan the apple slices open and spoon the oat mixture on top. Gently push some of the mixture into the cuts using the handle of the spoon.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the apples are tender, 10 minutes more. Let cool for 5 minutes.
- Serve the baked apples topped with vanilla ice cream.
HASSELBACK CINNAMON SUGAR BAKED APPLES
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest where it seemed like just about everyone had apple trees in their backyard. We had so many apples that we had to find different ways to use them up. This dish was always our go-to since it's an easy way to transform an apple into something fun and particularly tasty with a scoop of ice cream on the side. The fan-like slicing technique known as Hasselback famously creates lots of surface area perfect for trapping sweet cinnamon sugar that caramelizes deliciously during baking. You can easily double this recipe to serve 4; just use a medium baking dish and adjust the cooking time as needed.

Steps:
- Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a small baking dish with parchment paper.
- Place an apple half rounded-side up on a cutting board. Starting at the outermost edge, slice down most of the way (but not all the way) through each half at 1/8-inch intervals, creating fan-like slices all the way across the apple. You can place wooden chopsticks on each side of the apple to act as guardrails to make sure your knife doesn't cut all the way through.
- Arrange the sliced apple halves flat side-down in the prepared baking dish. Use a pastry brush to baste the bottoms, tops and between the slices of the apples with the melted butter. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle all over the apples and into the slits. Bake on the center rack until the apples are tender and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- Combine flour, brown sugar, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
- Cut 4 tablespoons butter into small cubes. Cut butter into the flour mixture using a fork or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add granola and toss to form a clumpy streusel.
- Place 2 skewers or butter knives, a minimum of 1/2-inch thick, parallel to each other on a cutting board. Place an apple half, cut-side down, between the skewers or knife handles.
- Cut thin slices into the apple half, stopping at the skewers or knives to keep the blade from reaching all the way through the apple. Gently separate the slices, being careful not to break the apple half, and place 2 raisins between each slice. Repeat with remaining apple halves.
- Place each raisin-stuffed apple half cut-side down in the buttered baking dish. Sprinkle apple juice and white sugar on top. Cover apples with the granola streusel. Scatter remaining butter on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until apples are tender and streusel is browned and toasty, about 55 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that will hold their shape when baked. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
- Slice the apples thinly: Use a sharp knife to slice the apples into thin, even slices. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't cut all the way through the apples: Leave the bottom of the apples intact so that they hold their shape.
- Brush the apples with melted butter: This will help them brown and caramelize in the oven.
- Sprinkle the apples with sugar and spices: This will give them a sweet and flavorful crust.
- Bake the apples until they are tender: The baking time will vary depending on the type of apples you are using. Check them regularly to make sure they don't overcook.
- Serve the apples warm or at room temperature: They can be served on their own or with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
Conclusion:
Hasselback apples are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a stunning and flavorful dessert that will impress your friends and family.
