Sue's Baked Apples Recipe
Trying to be healthy I spent hours looking online for a healthy version of a baked apple a little more than just an apple with cinnamon on it. I found NONE! So I created my own! This recipe has a slight sweetness to it so it feels like a treat but not so sticky sweet like a most recipes. Dessert or snack?? I say EITHER ONE!! This recipe killed my apple pie craving many times.
Ingredients
- 6 Apples
- ¼ cup Oats, old fashioned

- ¼ tsp nutmeg
