* % Daily Value shows how much one serving adds to a 2,000-calorie day. † Net carbs is not on US labels; it is total carbs minus fiber, allulose, erythritol and half of other sugar alcohols. "To taste" amounts are counted as written. Counted items (eggs, cloves, spoons) use the rounded amount shown in the ingredient list. Vitamins and minerals are from raw ingredients; cooking lowers some, especially vitamin C and folate. How this is calculated.
Steps
Heat the oven to 190 °C / 375 °F.
Cut the apples in half through the stem. Scoop out the core and seeds with a teaspoon.
Mix the oats, walnuts, butter, maple syrup and cinnamon with a fork. Pile it into the hollows.
Put the apples in the baking dish, pour 3 tbsp water into the bottom and bake 30–35 minutes.
Done looks like: Apples soft when poked with a knife. Topping golden.
Equipment
Baking dish, about 20 × 20 cm (8 × 8 in) $10–25
What to look for
- Glass or ceramic, oven-safe
- Fits your oven with room around it
Skip: Non-stick coated metal dishes; glass lasts longer.
Chef's knife, 20 cm (8 in) $15–50
What to look for
- Comfortable handle that does not slip when wet
- Blade you can sharpen, or a cheap one you replace every few years
Skip: Knife blocks with 12 knives. A chef's knife and a small paring knife cover almost everything.
Cutting board $10–30
What to look for
- At least 30 × 40 cm (12 × 16 in), so food stays on it
- Wood or plastic; plastic goes in the dishwasher
Skip: Glass or stone boards. They dull knives fast.
What goes wrong
| What | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Apples still hard | Firm apples or thick halves take longer. | Bake 10 minutes more. |
| Apples collapsed | A soft apple like McIntosh. | Use a firm apple such as Honeycrisp, Gala or Braeburn. |
