Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 cup pecans, chopped
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Apples: Core the apples while leaving the bottom intact. You can use a melon baller or a small knife to create space for the filling.
3. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans, rolled oats, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and melted butter. If using, add raisins or dried cranberries.
4. Stuff the Apples: Fill each apple with the pecan mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.
5. Bake: Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish and add a splash of water to the bottom. Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
6. Serve: Drizzle extra maple syrup over the apples before serving, and enjoy warm.
