Baked Apple Crisp Stuffed Apples

• 4 baking apples medium, like Fuji or Granny Smith
• 4 tablespoons flour
• 4 tablespoons quick cooking oats
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar firmly packed
• 1 1/4 teaspoons apple pie spice or cinnamon
• 1 dash salt
• 8 teaspoons butter melted

1. With a sharp paring knife, carefully carve a cavity out of apple, leaving a 1/4-inch border around edge and about 1/2-inch at bottom. Discard removed flesh and core. Arrange apples cut side up in a 9-inch casserole dish or pie plate.
2. Place flour, oats, brown sugar, spice, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir with a fork to combine. Drizzle melted butter into bowl, and mix with fork until mixture forms large crumbs.
3. Pro tip: Don't have pre-packaged apple pie spice? Make your own by combining a few teaspoons of cinnamon with a few dashes of nutmeg, allspice, ground ginger, and cardamom. Adjust balance of spices depending on your preference!
4. Spoon streusel mixture evenly into each apple, packing it lightly and creating a mound at top.
5. Bake on middle rack until extremely fork-tender and streusel is golden brown, 45-55 minutes.
6. Check to see that apples are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
7. Allow to cool 10-15 minutes before serving.
