- 2 cup rolled oats 
- 1 cup chopped walnuts 
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon 
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg 
- ¼ tsp ground cloves 
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup honey
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 4 cored apples
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp honey and more for drizzling as a garnish
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 cup low fat yogurt
For the homemade granola -
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Combine the rolled oats, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, a pinch of salt and brown sugar in a bowl. Make a well in the center, then add in the honey and canola oil. Stir to combine until oats are completely wet and no dry clumps remain. 
- Spread on a baking sheet (preferably lined with non-stick parchment paper) and bake for 15 minutes.  
- Remove from oven, stir once, then cook another 5-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely before touching. The cooling process is what allows clumps to form! Granola will keep in an air-tight container for up to two weeks. 
For the stuffed apples -
- Prepare the apples. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place apples, cut side up in a baking dish with sides so the apples don’t fall. Dot apples with butter, then drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon. 
- Pour ¼ cup water into the bottom of the baking dish and cover with foil. Bake until apples are soft, about 35-40 minutes. Uncover and remove from oven, then stuff with prepared spiced granola.  
- Bake, uncovered, another 10 minutes to allow granola to be warmed through. Remove from oven and allow to cool at least 5 minutes before placing apples in a bowl. Spoon ½ cup yogurt over each apple, then top with more honey and granola.
