Ingredients
- 4 whole Apple (e.g., Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala)
- 4 tablespoons Rolled oats
- 4 tablespoons Chopped walnuts or pecans
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 4 teaspoons Honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Raisins (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Wash and core the apples, making sure to leave the bottoms intact to create a small cavity for the filling.
Step 3
In a bowl, mix together the rolled oats, chopped nuts, ground cinnamon, and raisins (if using).
Step 4
Add 2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup to the mixture and stir until combined.
Step 5
Place the prepared apples in a baking dish, making sure they sit upright.
Step 6
Fill each apple cavity with the oat mixture, lightly packing it in.
Step 7
Cut the butter into small pieces and place a piece on top of each filled apple.
Step 8
Pour the water into the baking dish to help create steam and prevent the apples from drying out during baking.
Step 9
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Step 10
Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is golden brown.
Step 11
Let the baked apples cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them plain or topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla yogurt if desired.
