Ingredients:

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1/3 cup light-brown sugar

1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 medium apples, skin peeled in a spiral

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Stir together unsweetened applesauce, butter, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, ginger, and salt in a small bowl.  Set aside.

Scoop out the core of each apple with a melon baller, being careful not to go through the bottom.  Discard cores.  Fill each apple with oat mixture.  Transfer apples to a 9-inch square non-reactive baking dish.  Add 1 cup water to the dish to cover bottoms of apples by about 1/2 inch.  Cover dish with aluminum foil.  Bake until apples are soft (40-45 minutes).  Serve warm.
