DECADENT BAKED APPLE CRISP DESSERT

INGREDIENTS

6 baking apples 1/2 cup oats 1 tbsp melted coconut oil 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp coconut sugar, divided 1 tsp cinnamon pinch of nutmeg pinch of salt

METHOD

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Wash and dry apples. Using a sharp knife, place each apple on its side and cut off the top 1/4 of each apple, to create a removable “top”.

Use a spoon to scoop out and discard each core.

Rub all exposed sides of your apples with lime or lemon juice to prevent browning.

Scoop out the inside of each apple, toss in lemon or lime juice, and reserve.

Bake apples for about 15-30 minutes, until partially cooked.

In a saucepan, combine 1/4 cup coconut sugar and 2 tbsp. water and simmer over medium heat until thickened. Reserve.

In a small dish, combine your oats, 2 tbsp. coconut sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and combine well.

In a large bowl, combine apples, oat mixture, and 1/2 of your coconut caramel sauce. Mix well.

When apples come out of the oven, allow to cool slightly.

Generously fill each apple with your filling.

Return to the oven (tops too) and bake for another 15-20 minutes, until apples are done and everything is hot and bubbly.

Top with coconut whipped cream and enjoy.
