As a low-glycemic fruit,apples will give you a nice boost of fiberand antioxidants. This powerful combination can play a role in protecting your heart and brain as well as preventing type 2 diabetes.

Yes, you can! We use Honeycrisp apples for their sweet, tart flavor and crisp texture and because they hold their shape when baked, but feel free to use othervarieties of apples. Try apples that work best for baking, such as Golden Delicious, Granny Smith or Jonagold.

Look for old-fashioned rolled oats, which are oats that are steamed and pressed flat. Rolled oats have a softer texture and cook faster than steel-cut oats.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
