Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts)
- 0.25 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash the apples and using a paring knife or apple corer, carefully core each apple while leaving the bottom intact. This will create a cavity for the filling.
In a small bowl, mix together the raw honey, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Place cored apples in a baking dish. Drizzle each apple with the honey mixture, ensuring it flows into the cavity and coats the exterior.
In a separate bowl, mix the chopped nuts and raisins. Stuff each apple cavity with the nut mixture.
Top each apple with a small piece of coconut oil, roughly 1/2 tablespoon per apple.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake the apples in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil, and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Carefully remove the baked apples from the oven and let them sit for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the baked apples warm, optionally with a drizzle of extra honey or a dollop of coconut cream for additional decadence.
