How to Make Oatmeal-Stuffed Baked Apples

What are the best apples to use for this oatmeal-stuffed baked apple recipe?

Since this is an apple recipe, let’s talk apples. For my oatmeal-stuffed baked apples I like to use Honey Crisp apples or Granny Smith apples; however, you can use other apples as well such as:

Melrose Apples
Golden Delicious Apples
Gala Apples

A stuffed baked apple with a slice removed.

Stay away from Red Delicious apples because the don’t hold up well during the baking process.
