Ingredients

• 4 large apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup raisins
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Wash and core the apples, being careful not to cut through to the bottom. Use a spoon or an apple corer to remove the core, creating a cavity for the filling.

Step 3

Brush the inside of the apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Stuff each apple with the oat and walnut mixture, pressing down gently to fill the cavity completely.

Step 6

Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish and drizzle each with maple syrup.

Step 7

Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish to help steam the apples as they bake.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 9

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the apples from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Step 11

Serve the baked apples warm, optionally with a scoop of vegan ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream.
