Ingredients

• 4 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 3 tablespoons Splenda Granulated Sweetener
• 1 cup Old-fashioned oats
• 0.25 cup Walnuts (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.25 cup Raisins
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash and core the apples, ensuring you leave about 1/2 inch of the base intact to hold the filling.

Step 3

With a small paring knife or spoon, carefully hollow out the apples to create a cavity for the stuffing while ensuring the walls remain thick enough to hold their shape.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mix the oats, Splenda, chopped walnuts, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and raisins.

Step 5

Add the melted butter to the oat mixture and stir until evenly combined.

Step 6

Stuff each apple with the oat mixture, packing it gently but firmly.

Step 7

Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish, ensuring they are upright and spaced slightly apart.

Step 8

Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish to help keep the apples moist during baking.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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

Step 11

Allow the baked apples to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of your favorite sugar-free vanilla ice cream.
