   Preheat oven to 375º.

   Using an apple corer or paring knife, core apples from the top to create a space that’s approximately ¾ inches wide and goes about 75% of the way to the bottom of the apple.

3. Combine ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, prunes, apricots, cranberries, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and cloves.

   Using a teaspoon, spoon the mixture into the apples, allowing a little to mound over the top.

   Place apples in a square baking dish and pour ½ cup water into the bottom of the dish.

6. Dot filling

   Dot the tops of the filling with butter and loosely cover with foil.

   Bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until apples are soft and tender, but not falling apart for about 20–30 minutes.

8. Cool

   Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
