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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the raw honey, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Place cored apples in a baking dish. Drizzle each apple with the honey mixture, ensuring it flows into the cavity and coats the exterior.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix the chopped nuts and raisins. Stuff each apple cavity with the nut mixture.
Step 6
Top each apple with a small piece of coconut oil, roughly 1/2 tablespoon per apple.
Step 7
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake the apples in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the foil, and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Step 9
Carefully remove the baked apples from the oven and let them sit for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the baked apples warm, optionally with a drizzle of extra honey or a dollop of coconut cream for additional decadence.
