Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Apples (large baking apples, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.25 cups Chopped walnuts
- 0.25 cups Raisins
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter (cold, diced)
- 0.5 cups Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the apples and pat them dry. Using a paring knife or an apple corer, carefully core each apple, creating a hollow center for the filling, but do not cut all the way through the bottom.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, raisins, ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Mix well to combine.
Add the diced butter to the oat mixture and work it in with your fingers until evenly distributed, forming a crumbly texture.
Stuff the hollowed-out apples with the oat mixture, packing it tightly and slightly mounding the top.
Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish. Pour the water into the bottom of the dish to keep the apples moist during baking.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey over the tops of the stuffed apples for added sweetness and shine.
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a knife and the topping is golden and crisp.
Remove the apples from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
