Recipe courtesy of the Country Kitchens team
Ingredients:
- 4 apples (sweet variety e.g. pink lady)
- ¼ cup macadamias, finely chopped
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon seed mix (pepitas and sunflower seeds)
- 2 tablespoons sultanas
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon olive or macadamia oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ¾ cup warm water
- Natural yoghurt, to serve
Method:
- PREHEAT oven to 180°C.
- REMOVE apple cores with a small knife and spoon to create a large well, leaving the bottom of the apples intact.
- COMBINE macadamias, oats, seeds, sultanas and spices in a small bowl. Add oil and maple syrup and mix until well combined.
- SPOON ¼ of the macadamia oat mixture into each apple. Place apples in a baking dish and pour warm water down the sides of the pan to prevent apples from drying out and burning.
- BAKE in oven until apples are tender and filling is golden brown, about 30-45 minutes.
- SERVE warm with natural yoghurt.
What's Great About It:
These baked apples are a delicious and easy to prepare dessert. While many traditional recipes use plenty of butter and sugar, this healthy version has plenty of sweetness and spice on its own!
