Cookie Stuffed Apples- Oh yes you can!

Tweet

This is a fun little recipe that is GREAT for kids to do- almost completely themselves! As you may have noticed I am a short-cut girl. A nice 69 cent box of Jiffy Oatmeal Cookie Mix is what we used, but feel free to go nuts and make your own from scratch, there is a recipe from Quaker posted below!




Ingredients
4 large baking apples
oatmeal cookie mix (enough for 1 dozen cookies)
butterscotch chips

Method
Cut the apples in half (The STAR way)
use a spoon to scoop out the middle. Leave about 1/2 inch of 'meat' around the edges.
Fill the hole with cookie dough, (overfilled is nice too!)
Top with butterscotch chips
bake at 350 for 25 minutes
ENJOY!
