Ingredients
- 6 large apples honeycrisp, braeburn or empire are best
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ cup apple cider or water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Core apples. See above graphic - slice the tops of the apples flat +remove the stem with a sharp knife. Cut about 1/2 the way down to remove the seeds from the center. You can peel the apples but we prefer to keep the skin on.
- Grease an oven safe baking dish with cooking spray or coconut oil (8x8 will work best), and place the apples in the dish.
- In a bowl combine oats, pecans and spices. Add in melted coconut oil + maple syrup. Stir to combine.
- Place apples in baking dish. Divide oat mixture evenly among the center of the apples, pressing the filling in towards the center of the apples.
- Pour apple cider or water into the bottom of the baking dish. Cover apples with foil and bake for about 30 minutes, making sure to baste the apples with the cider every 5-10 minutes. Uncover the apples for the last 5 minutes.
- The apples should be fork tender when cooked. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
