Healthy Baked Apples Meal Prep and Storage

Meal Prep: Meal prepping this will mean the apples will turn brown, you can add lemon juice to the cut parts of the apples to stop that. Then fill and add to the fridge for later. But these are best made fresh and then leftovers stored for later.
Storage: Will hold in the fridge for 4-5 days, does not hold well in the freezer.

This easy baked apples recipe makes a wonderful dessert. I like to add the baking apples to the oven when I serve dinner, so by the time dinner and the dishes are done, dessert is ready.

You can use any kind of nuts in these baked apples, and if you are gluten-free make sure to get gluten-free oatmeal for this recipe for apples.

I like use Honey Crisp apples, but any apples will work in this recipe. I do recommend you choose a sweet apple though, so you don't have to add more sugar to sweeten these oven roasted apples.

1x2x3x

• 2 apples
• 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
• 2 tablespoons walnuts chopped
• 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
• ⅛ cup old-fashioned oatmeal or gluten-free oats
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350°.
• Core of the apples partway from the top down, removing the core and seeds but leaving the bottom intact. You can easily do this by using a paring knife to cut a circle around the core, and then scooping the center out with a spoon.
• Place the cored apples in a baking dish.
• To a small bowl, combine the cranberries, walnuts. Mix well, and then transfer to the apple centers.
• In the same small bowl, combine the brown sugar, oatmeal, and coconut oil. Mix well, and then sprinkle over the tops of the apples.
• Bake for one hour, or until the apples are soft and the top is browned.
• Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
