Ingredients:

  • ▢ 6 medium-large apples*
  • ▢ ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • ▢ ⅓ cup walnuts
  • ▢ 2 Tablespoon flax seeds
  • ▢ 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ▢ pinch fine grain sea salt
  • ▢ 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350.

  • Prepare apples. Wash and core. I find it easiest to do this with a grapefruit spoon. If you don’t have one, a sharp paring knife works well too. Place in glass or ceramic baking dish

  • Place oats, nuts, flax, cinnamon and salt in coffee grinder, blender or food processor and pulse until well mixed and crumbly. It’s OK if some of the oats are still whole.

  • Transfer mixture to a small bowl. Pour in the maple syrup and stir until well combined.

  • Evenly distribute oat mixture into apple cavities and then pour in water to ¼" up the side of baking dish.

  • Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until apples are soft. If your apples are bigger, cooking time will be longer. Baked apples are finished when you can easily stick a fork into them.

  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

APPLES: the larger the apple, the more filling you can squish inside. There is enough filling for 6 large apples. If your apples are smaller, you may not need so much. Apples that work well in this recipe include: fuji, honeycrisp, pink lady, braeburn, granny smith, or gala. Apples can be made ahead and kept in the fridge for 3-5 days. Serve them cold, bring them to room temperature OR gently heat in a 325 oven for 15 minutes.

Hi! I’m Debra, Holistic Health Coach and Culinary Instructor inspiring healthy choices with seasonal plant-based recipes. I’m passionate about Transforming Traditional Jewish Foods into dishes that are nutritious, delicious, beautiful and satisfying.

In my opinion, the MOST important thing about food is its ability to bring people together. AND….it’s gotta be yummy.  If food doesn’t taste good, who is going to eat it? There’s nothing worse than putting aside your time to cook and then having nobody eat it.  AND, when you’re making healthy food, there’s an extra layer of scrutiny…so whatever you’re making better LOOK GOOD (because we eat with our eyes first) and be fun…

The best compliment I ever got was from someone who is a meat and potatoes guy and said: “she makes vegetables FUN.”

When I’m “in the zone” of vibrancy, it’s so much easier to do all the things that contribute to being there:  put myself to bed on time, meal plan and prep, schedule in my workouts, make time for extra curriculars that stimulate me intellectually and spiritually, etc. 

Vibrant good health isn’t an all or nothing proposition…EVERY step you take matters.

I want that for you too! Why? it’s not enough for ME to be “in the zone” of vibrancy. SHARING what I know….THAT is where the magic is for me….it’s one of the many layers of nourishment that I need to thrive.

Making food from scratch, and eating at home is the single best way to take control of your health and well-being.

Not only do you get to control the ingredients, but you also have an opportunity to control the vibe.  Growing up, I always thought the nourishment I received came from my Grandmother’s wholesome ingredients. I didn’t realize until years later that the added ingredients that made the difference was the relationships I was building around the table.  Part of the nourishment came from the love and connection…..POWERFUL stuff there.
