(And yes I made up the word chocolatized,
but it should be a word
so we are just going to roll with it...)
This recipe will be a side-by-side edition, featuring both the "traditional" and the "chocolatized." Think of it as the Yin and Yang of awesome comfort food deserts!
Ingredients:
Apples (for an eight inch round you will need 12+ small or 7 large sized)
1/2 cup uncooked rolled oats
1/4 cup of unsalted butter
1/3 cup white or brown sugar
And that is it!!
Time: 10 min to prepare
30 min to bake
5 min to cool before serving
45 min TOTAL
Directions:
1) ALWAYS start with washing your apples. I don't care where they came from, they should be washed.
2) Chop up desired amount of apples to fill your baking sheet 2/3 full when the apples are loosely packed.
3)Add desired alterations: This is the chocolatizing step! I recommend adding a 1/4 to a 1/2 lb of walnut dark chocolate fudge to the dish. Just make 1/2 inch cubes of the fudge and spread it around the dish.
4) Pre-melt the butter with a quick 10 seconds int eh microwave. Repeat as necessary to reach a mostly melted puddle of butter. You do not want to burn the butter so better to stop early than late!
5) Add the oats and sugar directly to the butter. (The less dishes the better the desert!) Note: If you have carb loving guest, you can double the crust by just doubling everything that goes into the crust only, aka the butter oats and sugar.
6) Mix crust mixture well with a fork. The oats should all have a slightly glossy look to them and the sugar should have no dry spots. After that, it will all even out in the bake :)
7) "Fork" the crust mixture over the top of the apples. All apples to not need to be covered. (See image below.)
8) Bake at 325 degrees for 30 min, or until a light cripsy brown on top. The apples should be bubbling when you take it out!
9) Let cool before serving! Five minutes is fine.
10) Serve: Al-la-mode or in a milk float or just straight up-- It's a "whatever makes you feel warm and comfy" kind of meal.
Cost:
$3 Apples
$1 Butter
$0.25 Oats
$0.25 Sugar
$4.50 total
(Unless add chocolate which usually adds about a buck.)
So this is definitely one of those deserts that you can stick in the oven and then walk away from to enjoy dinner with your family, friends, and or guests. As it is the end of the season, I would also like to point out that this recipe is great for apples just past their prime! It also makes a great breakfast the next day, even cold out of the fridge, just sayin'.
