Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Golden Delicious apples, (or other apples good for baking) cored
- 3/4 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed (my daughter loved watching the brown sugar “move” in the bowl)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 stick of butter, (1/2 cup) cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 1/3 cup of chopped walnuts

Instructions
- Mix together oatmeal, brown sugar, nuts, cinnamon, salt and optional dried fruit.
- Using a fork, pastry blender or fingers, mix together the oat mixture and butter until the oats and sugar hold together in small chunks.
- Stuff the cored apple with the oatmeal mixture. (I had a lot of the mixture left over and just packed it on top of the apple.)
- Place apples standing up in a pyrex baking dish, add apple juice to the bottom of the dish.
- Cover with foil and bake at 375 for 20 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake for another 25 to 40 minutes depending on the size of the apple and how soft you like them. (just test with a fork after the 25 minutes and use your judgement.)
- Serve with optional vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce.
Notes
Depending on the size of your apples, and how soft you like them, your cooking time will vary. (Just test with a fork after the 25 minutes and use your judgement.)
