"It’s finally fall and baked apples are the quintessential autumnal dessert. Easy to whip up for a crowd or scale down to a single serving, these apples are hollowed out and baked with a filling of oats, cinnamon, cardamom, and AWAKE olive oil until tender. Top with a dollop of whipped cream or scoop of vanilla ice cream to finish and get cozy!" - Noreen Wasti
