Baked apples

Prep time: 10 minutes. Baked apples make a cozy fall dessert or weekend breakfast, and they taste like apple pie without the crust. Cinnamon adds warmth and natural sweetness, so you need very little sweetener.

Ingredients:

• 4 firm apples (Honeycrisp, Gala or Granny Smith)
• 1/4 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
• 2 tablespoons raisins (optional)
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup water

Preparation:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Core each apple, leaving about 1/2 inch at the bottom so the filling stays put.
• Mix the oats, nuts, raisins, maple syrup, butter and cinnamon, then pack the filling into the apples.
• Set the apples in a baking dish and pour the water around them.
• Bake 35–45 minutes, until a knife slides easily into the apple. Serve warm, plain or with a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
