What are the best apples to use for this oatmeal stuffed baked apple recipe?
Since this is a 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
Stay away from Red Delicious Apples, because the don’t hold up well during the baking process.
