Preheat oven to 400F.
-
Wash and pat dry the apples.
-
Using an apple corer, core the inside of the apples (removing all seeds and stems).
-
Slice each apple horizontally into 3 pieces; set aside.
-
Prepare the stuffing by mixing the oats, salt, oil, cinnamon, brown sugar, flax seeds, quinoa seeds and nuts.
-
Take each apple piece and lay it on a parchment-lined baking sheet and top each slice with about 1½ teaspoons of stuffing (depending on the size of your apples).
-
For the top part of the apple, lay it skin side up and stuff it lightly in the middle. Repeat with the remaining apples.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes until apples are tender and stuffing is crisp.
-
To serve, lay the bottom piece of each apple on a plate, then top with the middle piece and finally the top part stacking them to complete the apple shape.Alternatively you can bake the apples stacked as a whole for 20-30 minutes (depending on the size of your apples and on how tender you like them to be.)
-
Enjoy with some ice cream or on their own!
