Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup chopped pecans
- 0.25 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash and dry the apples. Using a paring knife or apple corer, remove the core from each apple, creating a cavity in the center while leaving the bottom intact to hold the filling.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, chopped pecans, raisins, coconut sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt.
Add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined, creating a sticky crumbly mixture.
Place the cored apples in a small baking dish and fill each cavity with the prepared filling mixture, pressing it down gently.
Pour a small amount of water into the bottom of the baking dish (about 1/4 cup) to help steam the apples during baking.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the tops from burning and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for 35 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Remove the baked apples from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a dollop of Paleo-friendly whipped coconut cream or a scoop of non-dairy ice cream for added indulgence.
