- 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 2 Tbsp dark rum
- 1/2 cup chopped dates

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a deep pie pan or an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter.
- In a medium bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and rum. Stir to combine well.
- Fold in dates and granola.
- Core the apples, leave about 1/2-inch at the bottom. Be sure not to core the apples all the way through.
- Stuff the apples with about 2 Tbsp of the filling.
