Ingredients

• 4 pieces Apples (large baking apples, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
• 0.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.25 cups Chopped walnuts
• 0.25 cups Raisins
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Butter (cold, diced)
• 0.5 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash the apples and pat them dry. Using a paring knife or an apple corer, carefully core each apple, creating a hollow center for the filling, but do not cut all the way through the bottom.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, raisins, ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Add the diced butter to the oat mixture and work it in with your fingers until evenly distributed, forming a crumbly texture.

Step 5

Stuff the hollowed-out apples with the oat mixture, packing it tightly and slightly mounding the top.

Step 6

Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish. Pour the water into the bottom of the dish to keep the apples moist during baking.

Step 7

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey over the tops of the stuffed apples for added sweetness and shine.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a knife and the topping is golden and crisp.

Step 10

Remove the apples from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
