Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon of organic cinnamon, ground
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey, organic
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/4 cup fresh pomegranate seeds
  • 2 tablespoons of almond flour or almond meal
  • 2 tablespoons of organic coconut oil
  • 4 large organic apples, tart green or golden delicious work well
  • Cinnamon sticks, for garnish

Although the holidays are over, the smell of fresh cinnamon always makes me think of Christmas. My family and I used to go to Oak Glen, California to pick apples right off the tree and the whole town smelled of everything apple.

Baked apples are a delicious, healthy snack or dessert that the whole family will enjoy. The pectin in apples is a great source of fiber and cinnamon aids in digestion. Try using different apples and see which ones you prefer!

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Slice the tops of the apples and scoop out the core. This should leave a nice round well to fill the inside. Mix with a spoon or hands: pomegranate seeds, nuts, cinnamon, almond meal/flour and honey. Make sure all ingredients are coated evenly.

Place in a shallow baking dish and bake in oven for 15-20 minutes or until apples are tender and caramelized. Allow to cool before serving.
