Easy baked apples
Ingredients
4 apples (variety of your choice; Fuji is a good option)
16 teaspoons maple syrup
8 tablespoons rolled oats
Cinnamon for sprinkling
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice the apples in half and scoop out the seeds to create a little “bowl” in each half. Place 1 Tablespoon of oats in each apple half, then put 2 teaspoons of maple syrup on each half. Top each half with a generous amount of cinnamon and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
