Baked Oat & Walnut-Stuffed Apple

When you’re craving authentic apple pie flavor but don’t want to go through the effort of making a whole pie and having it in the house to entice you, these fall-inspired baked apples with crunchy oat-nut topping will do the trick. This recipe was designed to serve one, but you can easily scale up the ingredients if you want to make these stuffed apples for a crowd. Here we call for a savory mixture of quick oats, butter, brown sugar, lemon peel, and ground cinnamon, but you can mix it up with whatever combination of sugars, peels, and spices that you have on hand.
