Description

This Pumpkin Pie Stuffed Baked Apples recipe offers a delightful twist on both classic desserts by combining tender baked apples with a creamy, spiced pumpkin filling topped with a crunchy oat streusel. Perfect for fall or anytime you crave a comforting, wholesome treat that’s both flavorful and visually appealing.

Ingredients

Scale

Apples

  • 6 medium apples

Filling

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Topping

  • 3/4 cup oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter or vegan buttery spread
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the stuffed apples.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Line a 9×9 inch baking dish with foil, which will make cleanup easier and help contain the filling juices during baking. Set it aside.
  3. Core Apples: Cut the tops off each apple and scoop out the core with a spoon, creating a hollow center for the filling while keeping the apple intact.
  4. Arrange Apples: Place the cored apples upright in the prepared baking dish to keep them stable.
  5. Make Filling: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, maple syrup, ground flaxseed, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  6. Make Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the oats, cinnamon, butter (or vegan buttery spread), and maple syrup using a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly like streusel.
  7. Fill Apples: Spoon the pumpkin filling evenly into each prepared apple cavity.
  8. Add Topping and Bake: Generously top each filled apple with the oat streusel mixture. Bake the apples in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are softened and the topping is golden and crisp.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked apples to cool for about 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and avoid burns.

Notes

  • To ensure apples bake evenly, choose apples that are similar in size and firm, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith.
  • The ground flax acts as a binder in the filling and adds a subtle nutty flavor; you may substitute with chia seeds if preferred.
  • For a vegan version, use a plant-based buttery spread instead of butter in the topping.
  • This recipe can be doubled easily for larger groups, using a larger baking dish.
  • Leftover baked apples can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and gently reheated before serving.
