Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.25 cups Chopped pecans
• 0.25 cups Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash and core the apples, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom. Leave about 1/2 inch of the apple intact to create a well for the filling.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped pecans, maple syrup, melted butter, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.

Step 4

Stuff each cored apple with the oat and pecan mixture, pressing down gently to pack the filling.

Step 5

Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish and pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the dish. This will help steam the apples as they bake.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Carefully remove the baked apples from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
