Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized baking apples, halved and cored
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup dried fruits, chopped if large (should be about the size of raisins)
- 6 tablespoons mixed nuts & seeds, chopped into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 3 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup, divided plus extra for drizzling
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup yogurt or sour cream
Instructions
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
Place prepared apples on the parchment paper-lined sheet tray.
Mix together topping ingredients in a small bowl: 1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal, dried fruit, nuts & seeds, and mix with the oil and 2 1/2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Place about two teaspoons of mixture on top of each apple.
Bake 35 to 45 minutes until the topping is lightly browned and a paring knife easily pierces the apple when inserted from the top. Be careful towards the end of the baking; there’s a fine line between lightly browned and slightly burned.
While apples are baking prepare sauce by mixing together a tablespoon of maple syrup with a cup of sour cream or yogurt. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
To serve, place an apple in the center of a small dish, top with the maple/sour cream or yogurt sauce, and if desired, drizzle with more maple syrup.
