Baked Cinnamon Apples

• 4 large apple
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/3 cup, chopped walnuts
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp, melted butter (or coconut oil)
• 1.5 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Core the apples, leaving the bottoms intact to hold the filling, and set them in a baking dish.
3. Mix the oats, walnuts, maple syrup, melted butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
4. Pack the filling into the apple cavities and over the tops.
5. Pour 1/2 cup water into the bottom of the dish, cover with foil, and bake 30 minutes.
6. Uncover and bake 10 more minutes until the apples are tender and the topping is golden. Serve warm.

Tips

• Baking apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Braeburn hold their shape better than softer varieties.
• A dollop of Greek yogurt on top makes it feel extra indulgent.
