Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium apples (like Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash the apples. Cut off the top quarter of each apple and scoop out the core, creating a cavity.
- In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Stir in the melted butter until the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
- Spoon the oat mixture into the cavities of the apples, packing it gently.
- Place the filled apples in a baking dish. Add the water to the bottom of the baking dish.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is golden brown. Basting the apples with the liquid in the pan halfway through can add extra moisture.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra special touch.
- Adjust the spices to your preference. A pinch of ground ginger can also be a nice addition.
- If your apples are very firm, you may need to increase the baking time.
