Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (or maple syrup for a healthier option)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
- 1/4 cup butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup apple juice or water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Core the apples, making a hole large enough to hold the filling but being careful not to pierce through the bottom.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins (if using). Mix in the softened butter until crumbly.
- Stuff each apple with the oat mixture, packing it in gently to ensure they’re well-filled.
- Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish and pour the apple juice or water around them, which helps steam the apples as they bake.
- Bake the apples in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are tender, but still hold their shape.
- Serve warm, drizzled with extra honey or maple syrup if desired. Enjoy!
