Fall is finally here! Well… sorta. It is still quite warm here in Montreal and I am getting impatient as I long for warm sweaters and comfort foods. This recipe is a great ease into the new season as it uses seasonal fruits spiced with fall classics. Growing up my mom always made baked apples for dessert. As I was creating a menu for a client this week, I realized how easily this traditional dessert could be a great fall breakfast. My favourite honey crisp apples are in season and I love incorporating them into all of my recipes. So with only 3 ingredients, you can have the best refined sugar free apples you’ve ever had. This recipe is for 9 apples so if you want to make less just cut the recipe in half. I will note that these stay amazing in your fridge all week for a super easy grab and go breakfast. With the added granola, they remind me of a apple crumble. Hope you love it. Don’t forget to share your versions of my recipes on Instagram or Facebook!

Ingredients:
• 8-9 honeycrisp apples (or any baking apple)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup (I like dark amber)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• avocado/olive oil spray OR melted coconut oil or ghee
• boiling water
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Wash and core your apples and place them in a baking dish. Lightly spray or coat your apples with oil.
3. In a small bowl, mix your cinnamon and maple syrup. Using a brush, coat your apples with the mixture making sure to get on the inside of the apple. Fill your baking dish with boiling water about 1/4 of the way up the apples (about a 1/2 inch).
4. Bake for 45 minutes or until tender. Serve with goddess granola or your granola of your choice and coconut yogurt.
What is the boiling water for?
helps steam the apple and create a delicious ‘sauce’
WHERe do you pour the water ? In the pan with the apples ? Do you have a replacement for oats ?
I just updated the directions, sorry about that! Try a grain free granola 🙂 purely elizabeth makes a great one if you are going store bought.
