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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
Step 2
Wash and core the apples, ensuring not to cut through the bottom to create a 'pocket' for the filling.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Fill each cored apple with the oat mixture, packing it tightly to ensure there's plenty of filling in each apple.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the apples from drying out during baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 8
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.
