Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 0.5 cup Water
- Optional: Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the apples thoroughly and pat them dry. Using a sharp paring knife or an apple corer, carefully core each apple, making sure to remove the seeds and create a hollow cavity, but don’t cut all the way through the bottom.
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, chopped nuts, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until thoroughly mixed into a crumbly filling.
Place the cored apples upright in a baking dish. Spoon the oat mixture into the hollow cavities of each apple, packing tightly. Fill until the mixture is slightly heaping.
Pour the water into the base of the baking dish to help steam the apples as they bake.
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the filling is golden brown.
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and let the apples cool for 5-10 minutes.
Serve the baked stuffed apples warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
