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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Fill each hollowed apple with the prepared mixture, packing it gently to ensure the filling is secure.
Step 5
Place the filled apples in a baking dish. Pour the water into the bottom of the dish to create steam during baking.
Step 6
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake the apples in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is bubbling.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your Treasure Filled Apples!
