How to Make Baker Baker

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Refrigerate the oat mixture for at least 15 minutes.
  5. While the oat mixture chills, prepare the apples: Cut a small layer off the bottom of each apple to create a stable base. Using a small sharp knife, carefully remove a cone shape from the top of each apple, reserving the top. Use a melon baller or small spoon to remove the remaining core and seeds, being careful not to pierce the bottom.
  6. Arrange the prepared apples in a baking dish, ensuring they are not touching.
  7. Fill the center of each apple with 1 teaspoon of honey.
  8. Spoon the chilled oat mixture over the apples, packing it gently until it overflows slightly.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the side of an apple meets little resistance and the topping is golden brown.
  10. Let the apples stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
