Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large apples
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons Granulated erythritol or stevia
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Core the apples using an apple corer, removing the seeds. Leave about a half an inch of the apple core intact at the bottom to hold the filling.
In a small bowl, mix together the butter, ground cinnamon, erythritol (or stevia), vanilla extract, chopped nuts, ground nutmeg, and salt. Ensure all ingredients are well combined to form a crumbly mixture.
Stuff each apple cavity with equal amounts of the cinnamon-nut mixture.
Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish, making sure they are snug and upright.
Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the dish to help steam the apples while they bake.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent the tops from over-browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. These baked apples are delicious on their own, or you can serve them with a scoop of low-carb ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
