05 - Fold in raisins or dried cranberries if using.
06 - Arrange apples upright in a baking dish; fill cavities generously with the oat-nut crumble.
07 - Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of water at the bottom of the dish to prevent sticking and cover loosely with foil.
08 - Bake covered for 20 minutes to soften apples and begin cooking the topping.
09 - Remove foil and continue baking for 15 minutes, until apples are tender and crumble is golden brown.
10 - Present warm, optionally accompanied by plain or Greek yogurt.
