Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large apples (e.g., Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 3 tablespoons Gluten-free rolled oats
- 0.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and select a baking dish that can snugly fit 4 apples.
Wash and core the apples carefully, leaving about 1/2 inch of the base intact to create a hollow cavity.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, brown sugar, gluten-free rolled oats, and optional chopped nuts.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave or small saucepan and stir it into the oat mixture along with the vanilla extract. Mix until combined into a crumbly filling.
Stuff the hollowed apples with the prepared filling, packing it in gently but firmly.
Arrange the stuffed apples in the baking dish. Pour 1/2 cup water into the base of the dish to create a steam bath that will help the apples cook evenly and remain moist.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is golden and bubbling.
Remove the apples from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy as is or top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
