Ingredients

4 medium-size apples gala, or any
⅓ cup sunflower seed butter or other nut/seed butter
¼ cup honey or maple syrup/brown rice syrup for vegan
10 tablespoons oats

Instructions

Core the apples. I just used a knife and cut out the middle.
Place the apples on a parchment-lined pan. Add one tablespoon of oats to the core of each apple, essentially creating a plug.
Use the remaining oats, sun butter, and honey to create the filling by mixing them together.
Stuff each apple with a heaping tablespoon of filling. To garnish, sprinkle with additional oats.
Cover apples with foil and bake for 40-50 minutes at 350F. Once the apples are super tender, broil them for 1-2 minutes until the tops get crisp.
Serve immediately!

Notes

To store: store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. Reheat in the microwave. They may kind of fall apart, but it will still be delicious, I promise!

To freeze: you can freeze stuffed baked apples, but the texture will change in the freezer. Make sure they've cooled completely in the fridge overnight is best before transferring them to a freezer-safe container and freezing. Freeze for up to 60 days. Defrost under refrigeration and reheat in the microwave.
