This ensures that your apples bake evenly and develop a beautiful golden color.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Core the Apples<\/strong>: Carefully core the apples using an apple corer or a paring knife. Be sure to leave the bottom intact to hold the filling. This will create a small cavity for the delicious stuffing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Prepare the Filling<\/strong>: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, raisins, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Stuff and Bake<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Stuff the Apples<\/strong>: Place your apples in a baking dish. Evenly distribute the oat and nut mixture into the empty cavities of each apple, packing it slightly to ensure it stays in place.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Add Liquid<\/strong>: Pour the apple cider or water into the base of the baking dish. This liquid will help keep the apples moist during baking and create a lovely sauce at the bottom.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Bake<\/strong>: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake the apples for about 35\u201340 minutes. Check for doneness; the apples should be tender but not mushy.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Serving<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Let Cool<\/strong>: Once baked to perfection, remove the apples from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. The juices will thicken slightly as they cool.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Serve<\/strong>: These baked apples are best enjoyed warm. For an extra touch of indulgence, serve them with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Nutritional Information<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Calories<\/strong>: Approximately 250 calories per apple<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Preparation Time<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Total Time<\/strong>: About 50 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preparation<\/strong>: 10 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cooking<\/strong>: 40 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n<p>This Baked Apples with Cinnamon recipe not only fills your home with the warm, irresistible aroma of autumn but also offers a dessert that&#8217;s lower in guilt and higher in flavor.
