Ingredients

  • 4 medium apples
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Raisins
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180C (360F) and grease a baking dish.
  • Soak raisins in boiling water.
  • Mix the sugar, oats, cinnamon, and ginger in a mixing bowl, then stir in the melted butter.
  • Drain raisins and fold into the oat mixture.
  • Core the apples, leaving the bottom intact so the filling stays put while baking.
  • Spoon filling into each apple, packing gently.
  • Place apples in the baking dish, add water, and cover with foil. Bake for 20 minutes, remove the foil, and bake for 15 more minutes.

Notes

  • Choose a firm apple variety, like Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, Braeburn, or Granny Smith, so the apples hold their shape instead of turning mushy.
  • Check for doneness by piercing with a toothpick. The apples should be soft enough to insert the toothpick, but not falling apart.
