Maple Baked Hasselback Apple Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
• Peel, halve, and core an apple of your choice. Honeycrisp and Granny Smith are both great options for baking.
• Make vertical slices in each apple 1 cm (⅓ inch) thick, stopping 2 cms (¾ inch) from the bottom of each apple half.
• Baste with a mixture of 1 Tbsp melted butter, 1 Tbsp brown sugar, and ½ tsp cinnamon.
• Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 20 minutes.
• Optional crumble topping. Cut frozen butter into small nibs. Toss in a combination of 3 Tbsp AP flour and 1 Tbsp white sugar until flour and sugar clump up around butter.
• Spoon the crumble topping on top of the apples.
• Bake an additional 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
• Enjoy!

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:

• 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:

• In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Core apple and peel the top third. Place in a small microwave-safe dish. Fill apple with walnut mixture. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 3-4 minutes or until apple is tender. Serve warm.
