Hasselback Apples
This is my own vegan and gluten-free version of a Cooking Light recipe. It's delicious and fairly easy, and even my hubby who normally complains about "health" desserts loves this. I used Honeycrisp apples as they are large enough and back really well.

Spoon oat mixture evenly over apples. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes. Turn broiler to high (leave pan in oven); broil 2 minutes. Serve with ice cream if desired.
