Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt
• 0.5 cup Water
• 0 Optional: Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash the apples thoroughly and pat them dry. Using a sharp paring knife or an apple corer, carefully core each apple, making sure to remove the seeds and create a hollow cavity, but don’t cut all the way through the bottom.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, chopped nuts, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until thoroughly mixed into a crumbly filling.

Step 4

Place the cored apples upright in a baking dish. Spoon the oat mixture into the hollow cavities of each apple, packing tightly. Fill until the mixture is slightly heaping.

Step 5

Pour the water into the base of the baking dish to help steam the apples as they bake.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the filling is golden brown.

Step 8

Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and let the apples cool for 5-10 minutes.

Step 9

Serve the baked stuffed apples warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
