HASSELBACK APPLES WITH GRANOLA STREUSEL AND CARAMEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with some of the melted butter.
• Peel and halve the apples; cut out the cores and place flat-side down. Using a sharp knife, make slits in each apple half 1/4 inch apart; do not cut through to the bottom. (If you make the slits too close together, the apples will fall apart). Place the apples flat-side down in the prepared baking dish.
• Mix 2 tablespoons of the melted butter with 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar in a small bowl with a fork until a paste forms. Spread the mixture on the apples. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake until just tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the streusel. If the granola has big chunks in it, put it in a plastic bag and smash with the back of a measuring cup into smaller crumbles. Mix the granola with the flour, salt, remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar and remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a bowl with a fork until the pieces are moistened and the mixture is clumpy.
• Uncover the apples and spoon the streusel on the tops and in some of the slits, using a fork or the tip of a paring knife to gently separate the flaps. Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, until the apples are tender and the topping is golden, about 20 minutes more.
• Microwave the caramel sauce in a small bowl until warm, about 45 seconds. Stir in the lemon juice. Transfer the apples to plates, drizzle with the caramel sauce and top with whipped cream.
