Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Apple (e.g., Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala)
- 4 tablespoons Rolled oats
- 4 tablespoons Chopped walnuts or pecans
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 4 teaspoons Honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Raisins (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and core the apples, making sure to leave the bottoms intact to create a small cavity for the filling.
In a bowl, mix together the rolled oats, chopped nuts, ground cinnamon, and raisins (if using).
Add 2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup to the mixture and stir until combined.
Place the prepared apples in a baking dish, making sure they sit upright.
Fill each apple cavity with the oat mixture, lightly packing it in.
Cut the butter into small pieces and place a piece on top of each filled apple.
Pour the water into the baking dish to help create steam and prevent the apples from drying out during baking.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is golden brown.
Let the baked apples cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them plain or topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla yogurt if desired.
