Ingredients

• 4 whole Apple (e.g., Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala)
• 4 tablespoons Rolled oats
• 4 tablespoons Chopped walnuts or pecans
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 4 teaspoons Honey or maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Raisins (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash and core the apples, making sure to leave the bottoms intact to create a small cavity for the filling.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix together the rolled oats, chopped nuts, ground cinnamon, and raisins (if using).

Step 4

Add 2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup to the mixture and stir until combined.

Step 5

Place the prepared apples in a baking dish, making sure they sit upright.

Step 6

Fill each apple cavity with the oat mixture, lightly packing it in.

Step 7

Cut the butter into small pieces and place a piece on top of each filled apple.

Step 8

Pour the water into the baking dish to help create steam and prevent the apples from drying out during baking.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is golden brown.

Step 11

Let the baked apples cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them plain or topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla yogurt if desired.
