Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cup raisins (optional)
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans, optional)
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Core the apples while leaving the bottom intact to create a vessel for the filling. Peel a bit of the top skin if desired.
In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
Place the apples in a baking dish and stuff them with the mixture of maple syrup seasoning. Add raisins and nuts if using.
Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish to prevent sticking and to create a steaming effect during baking.
Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the apples are tender.
Allow the apples to cool slightly before serving them warm. They can be served as is or with a dollop of dairy-free yogurt or ice cream.
