Ingredients
Scale
4 medium apples
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
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 tops and use a spoon or melon baller to carefully scoop out the cores, leaving about 1/2 inch at the bottom.
In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Stir in the melted butter until everything is well combined.
Spoon the oatmeal mixture into the cored apples, packing it gently.
Place the filled apples in a baking dish. Pour the 2 tablespoons of water into the bottom of the dish.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the filling is golden.
Let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
You can use any type of apple that holds its shape well when baked, like Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp.
Feel free to add raisins or dried cranberries to the filling for extra sweetness and texture.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
