I saw this pin on Pinterest and knew right away I was going to make this but in a gluten free version. I would have also made it dairy free if it was just for me and the kids, but we were heading to a dinner party so I decided to make it GF only. (I'll add the dairy free version below too!)
Here is what you'll need:
- 4 gala apples
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/3 cup pecans (optional)
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3 tbs apple juice
- Whipped cream (optional)
- *For dairy free use Willow Run Soybean Margarine by Shedd's in place of the butter and Greek yogurt made with almond milk
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350. Combine oats and pecans with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Spread out on a baking sheet in a thin layer and bake for 4-6 minutes until golden and toasted. Remove and set aside. Reduce oven temp to 325.
- Rinse and core the apples, but make sure not to cut through the bottom of the apple. You can use an apple corer or a paring knife. Make sure seeds are removed as well (scoop out with spoon)
- In a bowl combine oat-pecan mixture with brown sugar, yogurt , melted butter and cinnamon. Spoon mixture into the cavity of each apple. Place apples in an 8X8 inch baking dish. Pour apple juice in the bottom of dish.
- Bake at 325 for 30-40 minutes until tender (not mushy). Top with whipped cream or ice cream and serve.
Here is the finished product:
In the end I totally forgot to top them with whip cream (it's still in your freezer Kaitlyn), but they were darn good either way.
I can't wait to make them again for my kids between now and Thanksgiving. They were good, but I can do better. ;)
What do you think? Have you ever tried oat baked apples?
Happy Halloween!
