Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium apples I used Braeburn
  • ½ cup rolled oats (40g)
  • 2 tablespoon light butter (30g) room temperature
  • 2.5 tablespoon dark brown sugar
  • 0.75 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 4 tablespoon water warmed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C / 375°F
  • Place the oats, butter, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl.
  • Use a knife to mix the ingredients with a slicing motion until all the ingredients have combined. Set aside.
  • Wash the apples in cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Slice a thin bit off the bottom of each apple. This makes coring the apples a little easier but also helps the apples stay upright whilst baking.
  • Use an apple corer to remove the cores from each apple (if you don't have an apple corer or need more information on how to core your apples take a look at the information above for more information).
  • Place the apples in a small baking dish.
  • Place approx 2 teaspoons of the oat mixture into the holes pushing down to pack the mixture in. Heap a further 1 - 2 teaspoons of mixture on top of the apple pressing down a little so that it doesn't all slide off the top.
  • Once you have used all of the oat mixture, place 4 tablespoons of warm water into the bottom of the baking dish. This helps prevent the apple from drying out whilst baking.
  • Bake in the centre of the oven for 40 - 50 minutes. Half way through this time you can baste the apples with some of the juices that are in the bottom of the dish.
  • Remove from the oven and serve warm with a scoop of low calorie ice cream, fat free yogurt or fat free cool whip!
