06 - Arrange apples upright in a baking dish and spoon the oat-nut crumble filling into each cavity generously.
07 - Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of water into the baking dish to prevent sticking, then cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.

10 - Serve warm, optionally accompanied by Greek yogurt or a preferred topping.
