Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 3/4 cup oats
• 3/4 cup flour
• 2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, diced

• 4 teaspoons honey

Recipe

• 1 combine dry ingredients in a bowl with cold butter.

• 3 refrigerate.
• 4 cut a small layer off the bottom of the apples to create a level surface.
• 5 cut a cone out of the top of the apple, removing about an inch of the core and discard the top (this is similar to cutting the top of a pumpkin).
• 6 with a melon baller, remove the remaining core and seeds but do not puncture the base.
• 7 place the apples in a pie dish, making sure the apples do not touch.
• 8 fill each apple with a teaspoon of honey.
• 9 spoon in oat mixture, packing lightly until overflowing slightly.

• 11 let stand ten minutes before serving.
