Work the some streusel between the slices and sprinkle some over the top.

• Meanwhile, make the streusel topping. In a small bowl, add the oats, flour, cinnamon, salt, remaining 2 tablespoons butter and remaining 3 tablespoons brown sugar. Using a fork or your hands, work the mixture together until it forms a large crumble.
• Top each baked apple with the streusel topping, making sure to get some in between the apple slices. Return the dish to the oven and bake until the topping is golden brown, another 10 to 15 minutes. Serve the apples with a scoop of the ice cream.

• Starting at the outermost edges, cut most (but not all) of the way through each apple half at 1/8-inch intervals.
• Place apple halves, cut sides down, in an 8-inch square glass or ceramic baking dish. Coat apples with 1 Tbsp melted ghee/butter/oil, 1 Tbsp honey/maple syrup, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. You can brush this on or pour over and rub in with your hands.

• Meanwhile, combine 1 1/2 Tbsp ghee/oil, 2 Tbsp honey/maple syrup, flour, shredded coconut, vanilla, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, cardamom, and sea salt in a mixing bowl to create your topping. You can mix this with a spoon or fork by hand (it should reseemble a crumble).
• Remove the pan from the oven and remove the foil, carefully. Sprinkle the topping over the apples by hand, pressing on top of the apples with a spoon (as they cook, the slits will open and the topping can wiggle down inside). Add the pan back to the oven (uncovered) to bake for another 10-15 minutes or until apples are tender. If you'd like the topping to be crispier, you can broil it for just 2-3 minutes, watching it carefully.
• Remove pan from oven and let cool a bit before serving, add a dollop of non-dairy yogurt and optionally add more coconut or chopped nuts on top If you'd like! Enjoy.

You can place wooden chopsticks on each side of the apple to act as guardrails to make sure your knife doesn't cut all the way through.
• Arrange the sliced apple halves flat side-down in the prepared baking dish. Use a pastry brush to baste the bottoms, tops and between the slices of the apples with the melted butter. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle all over the apples and into the slits. Bake on the center rack until the apples are tender and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
