Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Medium apples (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Optional: Sweetener of choice (such as stevia or honey)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the apples thoroughly and core them, making sure to remove the seeds. Optionally, peel the apples if you prefer a smoother texture.
In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and optional sweetener if using.
Place the cored apples in a baking dish and pour the water around the base of the dish to create steam during baking.
Drizzle the spice mixture evenly over the apples, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender but not mushy. Check for doneness with a fork.
Remove the foil for the last 5 minutes of baking for a slightly caramelized top if desired.
Let the apples cool for about 5 minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed on their own or topped with a dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
