Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Apples (medium-sized, firm like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 2 tablespoons Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts)
- 1 tablespoon Raisins or dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the apples and slice off the tops (about 1/4 inch). Use a spoon or paring knife to carefully core the apples, removing the seeds and creating a hollow center without cutting through the bottom.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, chopped nuts, and raisins or dried cranberries. Stir until well combined.
Stuff each apple with the oat mixture, packing it in firmly until full. Place the apples in a small baking dish.
Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish to help steam the apples while they bake.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Remove the apples from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Optionally, you can serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon for garnish.
Enjoy your warm, guilt-free baked apples!
