Baked Stuffed Apples for two; gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan

Author Johnna

Ingredients

  • 2 large apples of your choice (we are using Granny Smith right now , but Honey Crisp would be wonderful!
  • 2 Tablespoons Johnna's Favorite Gluten-Free Flour Blend
  • 1 Tablespoon certified gluten-free oats
  • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut sugar (may use brown sugar instead)
  • dash cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut oil or vegan butter substitute like Earth Balance
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped pecans
  • 1 Tablespoon dried cranberries or raisins
  • Caramel sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Using an apple corer or a paring knife, core each of the apples.
  2. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place apples in a small baking dish.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, maple syrup, coconut sugar and cinnamon. Mix until well combined.
  4. Using a fork, blend in coconut oil or butter substitute until crumbly.
  5. Gently stir in pecans and cranberries or raisins.
  6. Stuff half of the mixture into the opening of each apple.
  7. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Length of baking time will depend on size of apple. When the apple gives way easily to a fork, they are done and ready to be gobbled up!
  8. Serve hot, with a drizzle of caramel sauce if you would like.

Recipe Notes

Some baked apple recipes call for water to be poured around the apples in the baking dish. I am not a fan of this method and prefer a dry baking method instead.
