Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji) cored and peeled
  • 0.5 cup rolled oats
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 0.5 cup apple juice or water for baking dish

Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.
  3. Carefully core each apple, leaving the bottom intact to create a well for the filling. Peel the apples if desired (optional for texture).
  4. Stuff each apple generously with the oat mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.
  5. Place the stuffed apples upright in the prepared baking dish. Pour apple juice or water into the bottom of the dish to prevent sticking and add moisture.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the filling is golden.
  7. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Notes

For a nutty twist, add 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts or pecans to the filling mixture. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
