Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large apples
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 0.25 cup walnuts
- 0.25 cup raisins
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash the apples thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, core each apple, making sure not to cut all the way through the bottom. This will create a cavity for the filling.
In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped walnuts, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger.
Add maple syrup and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
Carefully spoon the mixture into the cavity of each apple, pressing down gently to pack the filling tightly.
Arrange the stuffed apples in a baking dish and pour lemon juice and water into the base of the dish, which helps prevent the apples from drying out during baking.
Brush the edges of each apple with melted coconut oil.
Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
Allow the apples to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them on their own or with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream!
