Cinnamon Baked Apples with Cashew Cream

These baked apples are a favorite in my house. My older son is always asking me to make them. The best part is how versatile they are. They can be a great dessert, a snack, they can be packed into a lunchbox or even eaten for breakfast. The best part is that they are so good for you that you can eat them all of the time and not have to feel guilty.

Ingredients:

  • Apples-4 medium (honey crisp is my favorite)

  • Whole Rolled Oats-  1 cup gluten-free

  • Maple Syrup- 1 tablespoon

  • Water- 2 tablespoons

  • Raisens- 1/8 cup

  • Cinnamon- 1 teaspoon

  • Nutmeg- 1/2 teaspoon

  • Lemon- squeeze of whole

  • Ginger- 1/2 teaspoon- fresh grated or ground

  • Himalaya Salt- 1 pinch

  • Cashew Cream- 4 tablespoons

  • Raw Honey- drizzle

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375

Wash and core apples

In a bowl combine all ingredients except the cashew cream and the honey.

Mix well.

Stuff the apples with the mixture

Pour @1/2 cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish and add the apples.

Cover with tin foil

Bake for @20 minutes or until the apples are soft

Put oven onto Hi Broil, remove tinfoil and broil the apples for @ 3 minutes or until the oats look brown and toasted.

Take the apple out and place in individual bowls.

Drizzle each one with a little bit of the liquid from the bottom of the pan.

Drizzle each one with one tablespoon of cashew cream.

For an added bit of decadence, drizzle with a little bit of raw honey.
