Indulge in the symphony of flavors and textures with Hasselback Apples, a delightful dessert that elevates the classic apple dish to a culinary masterpiece. This extraordinary treat features Granny Smith apples, their tartness perfectly complementing the sweet and crunchy granola streusel topping. Drizzled with a luscious caramel sauce, each bite offers a tantalizing contrast between the tender apples, crispy streusel, and velvety caramel. Prepare to embark on a sensory journey with this irresistible dessert, perfect for any occasion.

The recipe begins with a step-by-step guide to creating the delectable granola streusel, combining rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter until golden brown. As the streusel bakes, the kitchen fills with an enticing aroma, building anticipation for the main event. Meanwhile, the Granny Smith apples undergo a transformation, their cores expertly removed and thin slices made along their sides, creating a fan-like presentation. This allows the apples to absorb the sweet and savory flavors of the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon mixture they're nestled in.

Once the apples are tender and caramelized, the magic truly happens: the prepared granola streusel is generously sprinkled over the apples, forming a golden-brown crust that hints at the delightful crunch within. The baking process continues, allowing the streusel to crisp and the apples to soften further, their juices mingling with the streusel to create a symphony of flavors.

Finally, the crowning glory arrives: a luscious caramel sauce, made with butter, heavy cream, brown sugar, and vanilla extract, is drizzled over the Hasselback Apples, adding an extra layer of richness and decadence. The result is a visually stunning and utterly delicious dessert that will leave you craving more.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large firm crisp-sweet apples
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
3 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar (divided)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (divided)
3 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats
2 teaspoons white whole wheat flour (or all purpose flour)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Low-fat vanilla ice cream ( or vanilla frozen yogurt for serving)

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.
