Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Granny Smith apples
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
Wash and core the apples, ensuring not to cut through the bottom to create a 'pocket' for the filling.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract, mixing well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Fill each cored apple with the oat mixture, packing it tightly to ensure there's plenty of filling in each apple.
Place the filled apples in a baking dish. Pour the water and lemon juice into the bottom of the dish to create steam and help the apples cook evenly.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the apples from drying out during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the baked apples warm, optionally topped with a dollop of low-fat yogurt for an extra treat.
