Ingredients
  

  • 6 medium-large apples
  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseeds
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of fine grain sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350oF.
  • Wash and core the apples. Place them in a glass or ceramic baking dish.
  • Place the oats, nuts, flaxseeds, cinnamon and salt in a coffee grinder, blender or food processor and pulse until well mixed and crumbly. It’s okay if some of the oats are still whole.
  • Transfer the mixture to a small bowl. Pour in the maple syrup and stir until well combined.
  • Evenly distribute the oat mixture into the apple cavities. Then add water to the baking dish until it reaches ¼-inch up the sides.
  • Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until apples are soft. If your apples are bigger, cooking time will be longer. Baked apples are finished when you can easily stick a fork into them.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Apples can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. Serve them cold, bring them to room temperature or gently heat in a 325oF oven for 15 minutes.
