Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large apples (e.g., Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (or pecans)
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash and dry the apples. Using a paring knife or apple corer, carefully core each apple, ensuring you leave about 1/2 inch at the bottom to create a cavity for the filling.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, melted butter, vanilla extract, and raisins (if using). Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 4

Fill each hollowed apple with the prepared mixture, packing it gently to ensure the filling is secure.

Step 5

Place the filled apples in a baking dish. Pour the water into the bottom of the dish to create steam during baking.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is bubbling.

Step 8

Allow the apples to cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your Treasure Filled Apples!
