Step 1: Ingredients

For each medium apple's filling, you will need:

• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon all purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

For each medium apple's topping, you will need:

• 1 1/4 tablespoon flour
• 1/2 tablepoon brown sugar
• pinch of  cinnamon
• pinch of nutmeg
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 tablespoon butter, melted

Step 2: Making the Bowls

Wash the apple you are using and cut off a lid from each one. Use a small sharp knife and a small spoon, carve the apple to form a bowl. Chop up the innards of the apple for the filling. Dice the lid as well. 

To make sure the apple "crust" (outside of the apple) doesn't get dark, add a few drops of lemon juice.

Step 3: Mixing the Filling

Mix all of the ingredients of the filling together. Add to the diced/chopped apple pieces and toss with a spoon. Pour the filling into the carved apple. 

Step 4: Mixing and Baking

Mix all of the ingredients of the topping together and sprinkle onto the top of the filling. Bake at 370 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 to 10 minutes.
