Easy Spiced Baked Apples (Without Cinnamon)
Simple, sweet baked apples full of fall spices and a crunch of pecans— and vegan-friendly, to boot.
Servings: 3 servings
Ingredients
- 3 small apples
- 1 ½ teaspoons coconut oil alt. cocoa butter
- 1 teaspoon coconut sugar alt. maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon ginger powder
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cardamom
- pinch of salt
- dash of ground coriander seed
- ¼ cup chopped pecans optional topping
- 2 Tablespoons coconut chips optional topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), then wash & chop your apples into small pieces, about ½' thick, and put them into a mixing bowl.
- Combine your oil, sugar, ginger, vanilla, cardamom, salt, and coriander in one bowl until they form a thin paste. Then scrape the spice mixture onto your apples pieces and stir everything until well-combined.
- Pour your spiced apples into a baking dish lined with foil. Any size or material of baking dish is fine as long as the apples can be spread into a single layer. Then sprinkle on your pecans & coconut chips (if using) before sliding the tray into the oven to bake for 25 minutes.
- Once done, the apples will be tender and lightly-browned; serve with coconut cream, a tolerated ice cream, or just enjoy them with a spoon!
Notes
Apple Types: I used Fuji apples, but McIntosh or Granny Smith would also work great.
Swapping Spices: you could swap out my choice of spices for your own, or remove those you know you don't tolerate, but make sure to rebalance out the blend of flavors.
