In a small bowl, combine the oats, chopped walnuts, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the butter, using your fingertips to break the butter into smaller pieces and combine with the mixture. Stir in the syrup.
Fill each apple with the mixture. Place them in a baking dish or ovenproof skillet. Bake until the apples are tender and easily pierced with a paring knife, 30 to 35 minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy!
