Name: Lemon Ginger Baked Apples (Vegan, Gluten Free, Refined Sugar Free)
Ingredients: 4 apples, cored but with the bottoms intact (I use a paring knife, but a melon baller would be ideal); 1 cup oats (gluten free, if necessary); ¼ cup coconut sugar; ½ cup almond meal; 5 tbsp grass fed butter or coconut oil, melted; 1 tsp vanilla extract; Zest of 1 lemon (try to get organic, since you’re using the skin); 2 tsp ground ginger; 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix together all ingredients except for apples until well combined. Fill each apple with oat mixture, pressing it down firmly so the apple is really stuffed. Let mixture rise a bit above apple top, about one inch. Fill a small baking dish with just enough water to cover the bottom, then place apples inside. Cover loosely with foil (make a sort of dome shape) and bake for 20 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 20 – 30 minutes, or until crisp topping is lightly browned and apple is soft to the touch. Serves 4.
