Vegan Baked Apples
Ingredients
4 large apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or any baking apple)
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work well)
2 tablespoons raisins or dried cranberries
2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup apple juice or water
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Prepare the Apples: Wash the apples and remove the cores, leaving about 1 cm at the bottom to hold the filling. You can use an apple corer or a small paring knife to do this.
Make the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, raisins or dried cranberries, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Stuff the Apples: Spoon the filling mixture into the hollowed-out apples, packing it tightly.
Bake the Apples: Place the stuffed apples in the prepared baking dish. Pour the apple juice or water into the bottom of the dish to help keep the apples moist while baking.
Bake Uncovered: Bake the apples uncovered in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is golden brown. If the apples start to dry out, baste them with the apple juice or water from the bottom of the dish.
Serve: Let the baked apples cool for a few minutes before serving. They are delicious on their own as a warm and cozy dessert.
