There's something about the cooler weather that makes me want to bake.  With fall comes an abundance of apples and those apples are great for baking. 

 

There's really no need to rely on your typical brown-sugar recipe when baking apples.  By choosing the right ingredients, the baked apples are delicious as a dessert or even as part of a snack without all the sugar.

 

Ingredients

serves 4

4 apples (any variety will work)

2 tblsp coconut butter

2 tblsp almond butter

1/4 c unsweetened shredded coconut

2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 c raisins

sprinkle of nutmeg

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

 

Core your apple with an apple corer or a knife. With a melon scoop, scoop out the inside of the apple - being careful not to go all the way through the skin - reserving the scooped apple and placing it in a bowl.

 

In the bowl with the scooped apple, add the rest of the ingredients and mix until combined.

 

 

Spoon liberal amounts of the apple mixture into each apple.

 

 



Place apples on baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
