Total:
- Set oven to 375 F.
- Core your apples by using a corer or grapefruit knife. Then, take a grapefruit knife or paring knife and make a larger hole by carving out the sides. Do not go all the way through the apple.
- Rub the lemon wedge along the insides of the apples to keep them from browning.
- Add all of the ingredients into a bowl and mix together using a spatula. Ensure there is no dry oatmeal. If the oatmeal is still dry, add 1 tsp coconut oil.
- Spoon the contents of the bowl into the hollowed-out apples. Pack it in tight and then stack some on top of the apple.
- Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the top has browned.
