Fall isn’t complete without Baked Apples! Each apple is filled with a mixture of oats, pecans, brown sugar, and fall spices. A maple cider mixture is drizzled over the top for added flavor.
Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and Preheat to 375°F.
Shave a thin slice off the bottom (blossom end) of the apples so they sit flat. Shave another thin slice off the top (stem end) and use a melon baller or small measuring spoon to remove 1 and 1/2-inch diameter core, being careful not to cut through the bottom of the apple.
In a small bowl, combine the oats, pecans, sugar, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and butter. Spoon the filling inside the cavity, mounding excess filling over the top.
Place the apples in an 8-inch baking pan. Add the maple syrup and cider to the bottom of the pan.
Bake for 30 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the apples meets little resistance, basting every 10 minutes with the cider mixture in the bottom of the pan.
Transfer to a serving platter. Pour remaining cider mixture over the apples and serve.
