# What You'll Need:
→ Apples
01 - 4 medium apples, cored (e.g., Honeycrisp or Braeburn)
→ Crumble Topping
02 - 1/2 cup rolled oats
03 - 1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
04 - 2 tablespoons almond flour or whole wheat flour
05 - 2 tablespoons light brown sugar or coconut sugar

10 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce

11 - 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries
# How to Make It:
01 - Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
02 - Wash and core each apple, ensuring the bottom remains intact to hold the filling.
03 - In a mixing bowl, blend oats, nuts, almond flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt thoroughly.
04 - Add melted butter and applesauce to the dry mix, stirring until evenly moistened.
05 - Gently fold in raisins or dried cranberries if using.
06 - Position apples upright in a baking dish and fill each cavity fully with the oat-nut crumble.
07 - Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of water into the dish bottom to prevent sticking, then loosely cover with foil.
08 - Bake covered for 20 minutes to allow apples to soften.
09 - Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes until apples are tender and topping turns golden-brown.
10 - Serve warm, optionally accompanied by Greek yogurt or a drizzle of maple syrup.
