Healthy baked apples with cinnamon
This baked apple recipe is a healthy, wholemeal option for an autumn dessert that the whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 3 big apples (or 6 small)
- 50 g oats
- 70 g wholemeal wheat flour
- 30 g dates
- 20 g dried cranberries
- 20 g walnuts
- 60 g butter
- 1 tsp sugar (or coconut sugar)
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- pinch of ground cloves
- 6 tsp jam (low sugar)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Finely chop the dates, cranberries, walnuts, and place them in a bowl. Add oats, flour, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ground cloves. Mix all the ingredients, make sure that butter is completely combined with the other ingredients.
- Cut the apples in half lengthwise and get rid of the core using a spoon. Add one tsp of cherry jam into each apple half (or ½ tsp if you use six apples instead of three). Divide the oat mixture between the apples (it goes on top of the cherry jam).
- Place your apples on a baking tray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and tender. Serve them warm, optionally with a scoop of ice cream.
