Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

You can, but the texture won't be quite the same. Quick oats tend to get mushier - I much prefer the chewy bite of old-fashioned rolled oats in this healthy baked apple recipe. If quick oats are all you have, reduce the baking time by 5 minutes.

How do I prevent the apples from becoming soggy?

Two secrets: First, pick firm apples like Granny Smith that hold their shape. Second, don't overbake them. Pull them out as soon as a fork slides in easily - they'll continue softening as they cool. A little juice is good, but we don't want applesauce.

Can I make these healthy baked apples ahead of time?

Absolutely, Prep the apples and streusel separately, then assemble and bake when ready. They're best fresh, but if you must, bake them fully and reheat - the oats might soften, but the flavors are still amazing.

What other fruits could I use?

Pears work wonderfully as a baked apple alternative. Just adjust baking time since they're softer. For a fun twist, try stuffing halved peaches or even nectarines with this oat streusel topping. If you are looking for other healthy dessert ideas, check out our no-bake mini cheesecake cups recipe .
