Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large apples (such as Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Whole30 compliant)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash and core the apples, leaving the bottom intact to hold the stuffing.
In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract together and set aside.
In another bowl, combine the chopped nuts, unsweetened shredded coconut, raisins, and melted coconut oil.
Add the cinnamon mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well-coated.
Stuff each cored apple with the mixture, pressing down to pack it in tightly.
Place the stuffed apples upright in a baking dish. If there's any leftover mixture, scatter it around the apples in the dish.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally garnished with additional unsweetened shredded coconut or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
