This healthy comfort food dessert has all the flavors of the holidays… and it couldn’t be easier to assemble!
Serves 6.
Ingredients:
3 apples
¼ cup (35 g) coconut sugar
¼ cup (20 g) rolled oats (gluten-free, optional)
1 Tbsp almond butter
¼ cup (30 g) slivered almonds
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
1 cup (240 ml) water
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F / 190°C.
Wash the apples and slice them in half lengthwise (along the core). Scrape out the core with a spoon and place the apple, flesh side up, in a baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, oats, almond butter, almonds, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The mixture will resemble a crumble topping.
Spoon the mixture into each apple core by heaping tablespoons. Pour 1 cup / 240 ml of water around the apples and place in the oven to bake until cooked through, about 25 - 30 minutes.
Remove and serve as-is or with yogurt. So good!
