This gets 2 thumbs up from us. I used gala apples and added some chopped pecans, a little more butter and a few tablespoons of maple syrup. They came out with a fantastic carmel apple taste. This was a perfect thing to make to welcome September. It made the whole house smell amazing! I might eat one for breakfast tomorrow with a little vanilla yogurt.

Oatmeal was dry. The whole experience was dissapointing

This is the 3rd time I’ve baked this since September, and always a great result. I use only Granny Smith apples add a touch more cinnamon, otherwise this recipe works for me. I always tent some foil over my baking dish so the apples cook neither too much, nor do they burn. Thank you for this delicious recipe!

So delicious!

I was looking for a high fiber dessert and this one works. I used a snacking apple, and I’m sure a Granny Smith or golden delicious apple would have cooked more tender. Halved one apple for hubby and me and it was plenty with a scoop of vanilla ice cream with a dab of caramel sauce on top. I added a dash of allspice and cinnamon to the oats. Great flavor. I used quick oats, not instant. I used my toaster oven so I didn’t heat the kitchen unbearably.

I used Pink Lady apples which are delicious raw. , tangy and sweet. I ended up with slightly bitter applesauce that I scraped from the apple skins. I made big holes and used all the stuffing. I ate it without pleasure. One of my guests basely touched it and the other struggled through half of it , asking for whipped cream which I didn’t have. I wish I had just served raw apple slices. I ate it

I added a little bit of pumpkin pie spice into the oatmeal filling, and I had to carve 2 more apples cuz I had extra filling. But they turned out great! Had to cook them for at least an hour more than called for but they were moist and the filling was amazing! I but a chunk of butter on top of the apples so the butter would moisten the filling a little bit more because the filling was a bit dry but it was good. Will make this recipe again soon. Filled the entire house with apple pie aroma!

Excellent recipe and hints. Made with our own apples, added syrup after finished. Loved the idea of vanilla or almond extract. I did cut apples in half to heap the oatmeal mixture on it, worked well. Also, lined ramiken bowls with foil to cook.

Easy to make. Great taste, sweet enough but not too filling. I made with Ruby Frost apples and was really good. Made a second time but slices apples and sprinkled topping over before baking. Delish!
Frederick Kemp
I MADE IT WITH MEDIUM GALA APPLES. I HAD NO IDEA OF PUTTING FAVORITE OATMEAL TO MY FAVORITE ??! Thanks
Kim Shepherd
Delicious. Easy to prepare. It was a wonderful warm breakfast. Others have mentioned adding nice cream so I guess this can also be a dessert. I am going to experiment with different apples. There are so many, but I am going to try some baking apples. I used Empire apples and it worked well.
Nathan Flores
This recipe is absolutely great. I followed the directions carefully and my only change was to add a small amount of chopped walnuts. Will make this again and again. I used honey crisp apples. They held up well while baking and actually I needed to leave them in the oven more than 30 min for them to be tender. My advice is to test as you go and use your own judgment and preference for when you consider it to be done.
Krista Robinson
delicious as the recipe says! but one reviewer had a fantastic suggestion of using plastic wrap when spreading out the base layer… genius!
John Guerrero
Thank you. What a wonderful easy to make with big taste to enjoy. It was a lovely fall treat and now I can’t wait until breakfast. I did make some changes and thought I would share. I added a bit more cinnamon, a little less sugar and then added the apple that I took out when making the well to the oatmeal mix. Thank you again.

I made these using Rome Beauty apples. They were tasty, but the skin was kind of thick. I’d either use a different kind of apple, or peel vertical strips around it next time. Filling was very good, but there was plenty for 5 or 6 apples, to just 4. Took several minutes longer than the recipe said to finish baking.
Tracy Hampton
This recipe is nice and simple yielding delicious results. I reduced the sugar to 3 TBS. and added 1 TBS of maple syrup, also cut the apples in half and 5 minutes to baking time.
Timothy Mccullough
I made half the filling intended to use just 2 apples. Half the filling was was plenty for 4 apples.
Jennifer Robinson
This was awesome! I read the reviews so I experimented a little. I just bought apples and it didn’t make a lot of topping so I used 4 medium Jonagold apples and four small McIntosh apples. The McIntosh apples cooked perfectly in the prescribed amount of time. The apple was soft and the topping was crunchy. The jonagolds we have not eaten yet but seem a little firmer. The will probably be just right when warmed up. The only thing I did differently is I brushed the insides with lemon juice and sprinkled them with cinnamon as a personal preference.
Diana Martinez
The oatmeal filling is amazing. So yummy.
Joe Wright
Worked great. The apples I choose needed longer than 30 mins!
Denise Fitzgerald
Pretty good! The filling was enough to stuff 7 apples, not 4, and I left them in the oven longer than 30 minutes (more like 45 or so) because I wanted them softer. But I’ll definitely make these again!
