Want a dessert that screams fall? Apple Pie Baked Apples are here! Top this Lattice Apple Pie Baked in an Apple with vanilla ice cream for an unforgettable individual-sized dessert that’s sure to impress family or guests.

Who’s ready for fall baking!? I’ve currently got apples on my mind, as you can probably tell from some of my recent recipe posts: Apple Pie Roll Ups and Apple Crisp (gluten-free!).

The most famous apple dessert has to be good old apple pie– and for good reason, it’s ridiculously delicious! You’ve got apples, cinnamon and sugar baked in a buttery pie crust…and if the pie is really good it’s a lattice top apple pie!

With all this talk about apple pie, you’d think I’d have an apple pie recipe for you today– but I don’t. I have a dessert that’s more unique, and surely will be the talk of any holiday party or fall gathering: Apple Pie Baked Apples.

I had a really hard time coming up with a name for this Apple Pie Baked Apples recipe because it’s so outside the box. You could probably call these Lattice Apple Pie Baked in an Apple or even Apple Pie Stuffed Apples. It really doesn’t matter because they are super tasty!
