Oatmeal Streusel Baked Apples

Oatmeal Streusel baked inside a warm, sweet apple! You’ll love this fall treat!

Here I am gearing up for fall, baking with pumpkin, apples, and burning my favorite fall scents, yet it’s still hotter than a mother outside.  It’s a little strange.  I hear it was one of the hotter summers here in San Diego and will continue to be hot through October. Being 37 weeks pregnant I’m craving that cool, crisp fall air NOW.  I’m a walking furnace and ready to be done 🙂

But I’m going to go ahead and just keep creating fall in my kitchen, cranking the a/c (we gave up and turned that sucker on) and pretending fall is coming….

I made these Oatmeal Streusel Baked Apples last fall and fell in love with them.  They’re a fall staple for us now and great for breakfast or dessert.  

Oatmeal streusel made with greek yogurt, cinnamon, pecans, and brown sugar gets stuffed and baked inside sweet apples. Topped with a little whipped cream {or ice cream} and it’s perfection!
