Tipps
Choosing the Right Apples
For baking, choose apples that hold their shape well. Some good options include Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Braeburn apples. Avoid apples that can become too mushy when cooked, like McIntosh or Golden Delicious.
Preparing the Apples
When coring the apples, be careful not to cut all the way through the bottom. You want to create a 'bowl' for the filling. You can use a melon baller, a small knife, or an apple corer if you have one.
Creating the Filling
Be sure to mix the oat flakes, coconut oil, and maple syrup until well combined. The coconut oil will help crisp up the oat flakes and bind the filling together while the maple syrup will add a lovely sweetness.
Baking the Apples
Keep an eye on the apples while they're in the oven. You want them to be tender but not mushy. The filling should be lightly browned and bubbling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the apples warm for the best flavor. You might also consider adding a dollop of coconut cream on top for added richness, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
