Baked Apple with Oats
Alone, kids can mix the ingredients together in a bowl, scoop the filling into the apple, cover the apple and place it in a baking dish. With assistance, they can measure ingredients.
Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 apple
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon whole oats
- Dash of cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 325°F and either grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Slice off the top 1/2 inch of the apple, leaving a ring intact. Set top aside.
- Scoop out and discard the core.
- Scoop out the rest of the flesh, leaving a border around 1/2 inch thick of apple. A small melon baller or a rounded ½ teaspoon-sized measuring spoon works well.
- Finely chop the apple pieces and add them to a bowl.
- Stir in the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
- Fill the empty apple with the mixture. Fill to the top and pack it down. Cover with the apple top and place in baking dish.
- Bake for 35 minutes.
- Be careful when removing the lid of the baked apple because steam will escape.
