Oatmeal Baked Apples

Place a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 350°. Toss ½ cup old-fashioned oats, ¼ cup dried tart cherries, 2 Tbsp. raw pecans, 2 Tbsp. raw shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas), and 2 Tbsp. raw shelled sunflower seeds in a medium bowl to combine. Drizzle 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil and 2 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. pure maple syrup over, then sprinkle in ¼ tsp. Diamond Crystal or Morton kosher salt. Mix until all of the ingredients are coated. Set granola aside.

Arrange 4 medium red baking apples, cored, halved, cut side up, on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Top each with some reserved granola (about 2 Tbsp. per apple half). Bake until granola is golden brown and apples are tender, 40–45 minutes.

While the apples are baking, whisk 1 cup sour cream and 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup in a small bowl to combine.

To serve, carefully arrange each baked apple on a plate. Drizzle with more maple syrup and spoon a dollop of sour cream mixture on top of each.
