Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

Peel 4 Granny Smith apples and cut them in half lengthwise.

Scoop out the cores and stems from the apples and place them cut side up in the baking pan.

In a large bowl, combine 3 1/2 cups of old-fashioned rolled oats, 3 tbsp of melted unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of light brown sugar, 1 tsp of ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp of ground ginger, 1/4 tsp of ground nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp of kosher salt.

Mix the ingredients using a spoon until well combined.

Place a large pinch of the oat mixture into the hollow core of each apple.

In the bowl with the remaining oat mixture, add 2 tsp of baking powder, 1 cup of whole milk, 1 cup of water, and 2 eggs.

Mix thoroughly and pour the mixture into the baking pan next to the apples.

If desired, add raisins or chocolate nuts on top before baking.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 350°F until the apples are tender and the oatmeal is golden brown.

If not done, leave it in the oven for a bit longer.

Once baked, take it out of the oven and serve warm.
