Baked apples

This baked apple recipe might be my ideal fall dessert. It’s simpler to make than apple pie, apple cake, or even apple crisp, but it checks all the same apple-y, cinnamon-y boxes. It also shows off the natural shape and color of the apples, which I really love. When I nestle a couple of these baked apples into a bowl with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, they look so fresh and festive…and they taste amazing, too.

I’ve made this baked apple recipe a few times this season already, and I’m still excited to make it a few more. If you’re looking for a cozy fall treat to enjoy in the next few weeks, I can’t recommend it enough. Happy baking, friends!

How to Make Baked Apples

Once you assemble your ingredients, this recipe is super easy to put together.

First, make the topping. Combine the oats, almond flour, walnuts, brown sugar, apple pie spice, and salt in a small bowl. Use your hands to work in the firm coconut oil.

Next, prepare the apples. Cut them in half lengthwise and use a small spoon to scoop the seeds out of each half. Carve out the center of the halves a little more to form a small cavity in each one.

Then, pre-bake the apples. Rub the halves all over with melted coconut oil and place them in a baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake at 375°F for 10 minutes so that the apples start to soften.

Finally, bake again! Uncover the apples and pile them with the topping. Drizzle the topping with a little more melted coconut oil and bake for another 20 minutes or so, until the apples are tender and the topping is crisp.

Serve with vanilla ice cream, and enjoy!
