Ingredients
- 4 large baking apples
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup Chopped Pecans
- 1/4 cup raisins, dried cranberries or other dried fruit roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons butter or ghee melted
- 3/4 cup apple cider or apple juice
- 1/2 lemon cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375F. Add the oats, chopped pecans, dried fruit, coconut sugar, cinnamon nutmeg, and melted butter to a bowl. Then mix that together until it's well combined.
- Using a melon baller or paring knife, core the tops of the apples. Then scoop out some of the apple, so that you have a cavity about an inch and a half wide. Just make sure you don't core through the bottom of the apple.
- Remove about 1/2" of the skin around the top. This helps to prevent the apple skin from bursting when baking. Transfer your apples to a baking dish, standing them upright, and if they wobble you can slice a little bit off the bottom to make them more stable. Then squeeze the lemon over the top edge of the apple.
- Then stuff the apples with the cinnamon oat mixture.
- Pour the apple cider or apple juice into the bottom of the pan.
- Bake the apples for 45-60 minutes, basting a couple of times throughout with the liquid from the pan. The apples are done when they're tender when pierced with a fork.
- Spoon the syrupy liquid from the pan over the apples before serving. You can also top them with a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, caramel sauce, or a dash of cinnamon.

Notes
- To Store: These will stay fresh in a container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
- To Reheat: Simply pop one of your baked apples in the microwave for one minute.
- Make ahead 1-2 days before serving. Then re-bake them in the oven at 350F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.
- I'm using an 8"x 8" square baking dish for 4 apples. But you could always use a larger baking dish if you double the recipe.
