Farmhouse Baked Apples

Ingredients
½ cup old fashioned oats
5 Tbsp. chopped pecans
5 Tbsp. roughly chopped raisins (or other dried fruit)
5 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
3 Tbsp. butter, melted
4 large baking apples
½ lemon
1 cup apple cider

Directions
Preheat the oven to 375^° F. In a medium bowl, combine oats, pecans, raisins, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter. Stir until well mixed.

Core apples, scooping out just enough for a 1½-inch wide cavity. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice inside each apple. Place on a baking pan and fill with oat mixture. Pour cider into bottom of pan.

Bake for 45–60 minutes. Baste apples with liquid from bottom of pan several times while baking. Serve hot.

Pro Tip
Don't core through bottoms of apples or the filling will leak out into pan.
