Ingredients
6 medium baking apples
1 cup Earnest Eats Maple Almond Cinnamon Superfood Oatmeal from the Pantry Bag or 2 Maple Almond Cinnamon Oatmeal Cups
2 cups water, Pantry Bag method only
¼ tsp cinnamon
¼ cup brown sugar, Pantry Bag method only
¼ cup heavy cream or your favorite plant based milk
½ cup sliced almonds
3 tbsp pure maple syrup
Directions
1. Prep the Apples 🍎
Preheat oven to 400°F and lightly grease a baking dish. Core the center of each apple, leaving the bottom intact to create a sturdy pocket for the oatmeal filling.
2. Prepare the Oatmeal 🥣
Pantry Bag Method:
Bring 2 cups water to a boil. Stir in 1 cup Maple Almond Cinnamon Superfood Oatmeal and ¼ tsp cinnamon. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until thick and creamy. Stir in ¼ cup cream and ¼ cup brown sugar.
Oatmeal Cup Method:
For an easy microwave option, prepare 2 Maple Almond Cinnamon Oatmeal Cups according to the microwave directions on the package. Once prepared, combine the oatmeal from both cups in a bowl and stir in ¼ tsp cinnamon and ¼ cup cream.
3. Stuff + Bake
Generously spoon the warm oatmeal into each prepared apple. Sprinkle the tops with ½ cup sliced almonds.
Place the stuffed apples in the prepared baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the apples are warm and tender while still holding their shape.
4. Drizzle + Serve
Remove the apples from the oven and finish with 3 tbsp maple syrup.
Serve warm and enjoy. 🍎
