This is a lovely little old-fashioned dessert with fruit, spiced filling, and sauce all in one dish. The granola streusel is a butter and flour mixture with chewy, textural additions: oats and toasted almonds. Make sure you use baking apples that’ll keep their shape after cooking.

Instructions
- 1Heat the oven to 375°F.
- 2To make the streusel, in a bowl, stir together the melted butter and vanilla. In another bowl, combine the flour, oats, almonds, sugar, and salt and stir together with a fork. Add the butter mixture to the flour mixture and stir until evenly blended and crumbly (the streusel will be slightly wet).
- 3Stuff the core of each apple with streusel, dividing it evenly between the apples.
- 4Place the stuffed apples in a glass baking dish, large enough to just fit the apples but spacing them evenly so they are not touching.
- 5In a saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together the brown sugar, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, stirring, then pour the sauce evenly over the apples in the dish.
- 6Bake, spooning the sauce over the apples a few times during baking, until the apples are tender, about 45 minutes. Serve warm with the sauce.
