Instructions
Core and slightly hollow out the apples beyond the cored center. (Don’t go too far or the apple will lose its shape when baked).
Place the apples in a baking dish.
Mix together the oats, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
Add the softened butter to the mixture, mixing gently with your fingers until thoroughly incorporated.
Lightly add the filling to the apples. (Do not pack inside or the mixture will expand and the apple will burst!)
Serve warm, drizzled with caramel sauce.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port
Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port are great choices for Baked Apple. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. One wine you could try is NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.

NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry
Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "
