Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Red apples (e.g., Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
- 2 tablespoons Honey (for drizzling)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the red apples thoroughly and dry them with a clean towel.
Using a paring knife or an apple corer, carefully core each apple, removing the seeds and creating a hollow center. Make sure to leave about 1/2 inch of the bottom intact to hold the filling.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, melted butter, chopped walnuts or pecans, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Spoon the oat mixture evenly into the hollowed-out centers of each apple, packing it gently.
Place the stuffed apples into a baking dish, ensuring they are upright and stable.
Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish to create steam during baking, which will help soften the apples.
Bake the apples in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape. Check by piercing with a fork or toothpick.
Remove the apples from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Drizzle each apple with honey before serving. Optionally, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
