Ingredients
  

  • 5 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 5 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts such as pecans, walnuts, or almonds (optional)
  • 4 medium baking apples such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith
  • 2/3 cup warm water
  • Caramel sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and oats. Add the softened butter and mix until well combined. Fold in the dried cranberries and chopped nuts.
    Fresh green apples, oats, dried cranberries, butter, and honey for healthy baking ingredients.
  • Using a paring knife or an apple corer, remove the cores from the apples, being careful to leave the bottoms intact to hold the filling.

  • Place the apples in a baking dish. Fill each apple with the sugar-oat mixture, pressing down slightly to pack it in. Pour the warm water into the bottom of the dish around the apples. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
