Cinnamon Baked Apples

Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 2 apples (Granny Smith recommended, but any kind will do)
• 4 tablespoons maple syrup
• 4 tablespoons oats
• Cinnamon (to taste)

Directions:

1. Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Core and Slice the Apples: Using an apple corer (like the OXO Good Grips Apple Corer and Divider or similar), core the apples. Slice them into evenly sized pieces.
3. Assemble in Ramekins: Take two ramekins and distribute the apple slices equally between them. To each ramekin, pour in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of oats. Gently stir the mixture to coat the apple slices.
4. Season: Lightly sprinkle cinnamon over the top of each ramekin. Adjust the amount based on your personal preference.
5. Bake: Place the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the apples are tender and the oats have taken on a golden color.
6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. For an added treat, you can serve with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel.
