Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large apples (e.g., Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (or pecans)
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and dry the apples. Using a paring knife or apple corer, carefully core each apple, ensuring you leave about 1/2 inch at the bottom to create a cavity for the filling.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, melted butter, vanilla extract, and raisins (if using). Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Fill each hollowed apple with the prepared mixture, packing it gently to ensure the filling is secure.
Place the filled apples in a baking dish. Pour the water into the bottom of the dish to create steam during baking.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake the apples in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the apples to cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Serve warm and enjoy your Treasure Filled Apples!
