• Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the Apples:

• Wash the apples thoroughly.
• Core the apples, removing the seeds, but leave the bottom intact to create a “well” for the filling.

Make the Filling:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of kosher salt.
• Chop the pecans into small pieces and mix them into the dry ingredients.
• Add softened butter to the mixture and stir until it forms a crumbly texture.
• Stuff the Apples:
• Spoon the filling mixture into the hollowed-out centers of the apples. Pack it in tightly to ensure it doesn’t spill over while baking.

Arrange in Baking Dish:

• Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish. If you want softer apples, you can add about 1/4 cup of water or apple cider to the bottom of the dish to create steam while baking.

Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 30–40 minutes, or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape. You can test the doneness by piercing the apples with a fork.

Serve:

• Let the apples cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy them as-is or top them with a dollop of whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or plain Greek yogurt for extra indulgence!
