Ingredients

2 medium baking apples (like Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored
1/4 cup rolled oats
2 tbsp chopped walnuts or pecans
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, plus extra for dusting
Pinch of nutmeg
1 tbsp water or apple juice
Optional: 1/2 tsp coconut oil for the crumble

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Core apples, leaving the bottom intact. Score around the middle of each apple to prevent bursting.
In a small bowl, combine oats, nuts, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and optional coconut oil. Mix until crumbly.
Place apples in a small baking dish. Fill each apple cavity with the oat mixture. Pour water or apple juice into the bottom of the dish.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until apples are tender when pierced with a fork. Serve warm.
