Equipment
- 1 9x9" baking dish
Ingredients
- 5-6 medium Fuji or Honeycrisp apples
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup gluten free rolled oats
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 1/2 cup pecans chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a baking dish and set aside.
- Use a knife to cut the very top of the apples off, then use a spoon to scoop out the core, leaving the bottom intact. Try to create some space in the apple for the oat filling.
- In a medium bowl, add the oats, brown sugar, spices, and softened butter. Mix the ingredients together until everything looks wet and crumbly, using a fork or your hands. Add the pecans and mix gently until combined.
- Place the apples in the baking dish open-side-up. Spoon the oatmeal mixture into each apple, packing it gently on the top. Drizzle the honey over the top of the apples.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are fork-tender and the top is golden and toasted.

Cooking Tips
- If the tops start getting too toasty before the apples are soft, tent the dish loosely with some tinfoil for the remaining time.
- If they're tipping over, trim a small amount off of the bottom of the apple so it sits flat in the baking dish.
- Don't core the apples all the way through to the bottom, you need to leave some stability in the apple so it doesn't break apart when you stuff it, or leak filling through the bottom.
- Use your hands to gently pack the filling into the apple, and press the oats on top so they don't fall apart.
- The apples are done when you can poke them with a fork and the fork goes through them easily.
