Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 large apples, about 800 grams total, cored
- 1 cup gluten free rolled oats, about 90 grams
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, about 50 grams
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup water, about 60 milliliters
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius, or 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten free rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Place the cored apples upright in a baking dish and pour the water into the bottom of the dish.
- Spoon the oat mixture into the center of each apple, pressing gently so the filling is compact.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the apples are tender when pierced with a knife and the tops are lightly golden.
- Allow the apples to cool slightly so the syrup thickens at the bottom of the dish.
- Spoon some of the warm syrup over each apple before serving and enjoy.
Notes
- Choose firm apples such as Honeycrisp or Fuji so they hold their shape while baking.
- If the tops brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil during the last minutes of baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
