Baked Apples and Oats



Nothing is better than freshly baked apples and the crunch of buttery oats.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium apples (Braeburn, Gala, or Fuji)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 cup old fashion oats

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter

  4. Heat small skillet over medium heat, add in oats and almonds to toast. Stir frequently for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Remove from heat, set aside.

  6. Spoon apples into serving dishes, top with oats and almonds. Stir yogurt mixture and then place a dollop on the top of each dish.

 

Handling & Storage

Apples should feel firm to the touch and be free of bruises.

Place apples in a plastic bag and refrigerate in the crisper for up to a month.

Do not peel or slice an apple until ready to use or it will begin to brown. Dip slices into lemon juice to slow down the browning process.
