Autumn-Spiced Stuffed Baked Apples

apple dessert recipes

Thank you Camille Styles for the recipe!

Ingredients

  • 6 medium apples

  • ¼ cup old-fashioned oats

  • ¼ cup unsweetened, dried apricots (chopped)

  • ¼ cup unsweetened dried cranberries

  • 2 Tbsp pepitas (salted & roasted)

  • 2 Tbsp pecan pieces

  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon

  • ⅛ tsp nutmeg

  • Pinch ground cloves

  • Pinch salt 

  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup

  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil 

  • Tart frozen yogurt (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Rinse and dry your apples. Use an apple corer or paring knife to cut out the core of the apples, creating a hole about an inch wide. Do not cut through the bottom of the apple. 

  2. In the bowl, combine the oats, apricots, cranberries, pepitas, pecans, spices, and salt. Toss to combine. Add the maple syrup and stir until the ingredients are well-coated and slightly wet. If the mixture seems dry, add a little more maple syrup. 

  3. Stuff the mixture into the apples. Add a small pat of coconut oil on top of each mound. 

  4. Place the stuffed apples in a ceramic baking dish and pour ½ cup of water into the bottom. Cover the apples loosely with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 20-30 minutes until the apples are tender but not falling apart. Let the apples cool slightly. 

  5. Serve warm with frozen yogurt and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
