Stuffed Apples for Sukkot | The Nosher

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and boil 1 1/2 cups of water.

Step 2

Place a small pan over a medium heat and toast your spices and nuts. Toast until they become fragrant, around 3-5 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 3

This shouldn’t take more than five minutes. Keep an eye on them while you continue with the recipe to prevent them from burning.

Step 4

While you wait for you ingredients to toast, cut off the top of your apple.

Step 5

You should cut off about 1/4 inch off the top, enough that it isn’t a wobbly thin slice of apple but a sturdy "hat" you can easily place back on top of your apple later.

Step 6

Remove the center of your apples creating a hollow circle in the middle of your apple with an inch or so diameter. You can use an apple corer to help you remove the center of your apple. If you don't have an apple corer you can also using a paring knife or any small sharp knife.

Step 7

Remember the hollowed core of you apple doesn’t have to be a perfect circle as long as you remove all the pits your apple is perfect.

Step 8

Once your spices and nuts are fragrant, add the almond milk and honey and continue to heat.

Step 9

Once your almond milk mixture is hot but not bubbling, stir in the oatmeal and craisins.

Step 10

Cook the oatmeal stuffing for a few more minutes, until most of your almond milk has been absorbed, stirring every few minutes.

Step 11

Fill your apples with approximately 1 1/2 Tbsp of filling so that they are entirely filled.

Step 12

Place your apples into a small baking dish.

Step 13

Put a single piece of margarine on top of each apple's filling and then the top of each apple in order to "seal" the apple closed.

Step 14

Pour the 1 1/2 cups of boiling water into the baking dish along with the apples.

Step 15

Cover your baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 16

Bake your apples for 30-40 minutes while basting their stuffing with the cooking water every 10-15 minutes.

Step 17

They are ready when the apples' stuffing is hot and the apples are soft but not mushy.
