It was my mom’s idea to make this recipe for Sunday brunch. It reminds me of my childhood, when my mom used to make baked apples for me and my sister. She used to add sugar but I introduced her to raw honey, since that she only uses honey in all her recipes.

Baked apples contains lots of Iron and Calcium, plus boost vitamin A intake.

I love versatile recipes, and baked apples are one of those breakfast/dessert/snack/brunch type of meal.

And kids will love it !

I made this early morning and my whole apartment smelled like cinnamon apple pie!

I also added an oatmeal to a few apples, It was really nice touch –  delicious way to fill you up.

 

Ingredients:

  • 6 gala apples
  • raw honey
  • cinnamon
  • oatmeal (optional)

Steps:

prepare apples a night before. Core the middle part, making sure its not pierce till the end (you don’t want juices to run out the other end). Sprinkle cinnamon inside, add oatmeal (optional) and finally add  a raw honey.

First thing in the morning, warm up the oven for 380F. Place apples inside and bake for 25-30 min or until honey starts to bubble on top and apples become soft to touch.

Prepare your favorite morning beverage, seat back and enjoy Sunday morning with your family. I made almond milk latte, it goes so good together with baked apples. Bom appetite!

LOVE, VAL

    Oh Val, those are the kind of moments that folks look forward to, and especially in the winter, the recipe not only comforts one’s soul with the aromatherapy, but also nourishes the body with high nutrition. Your description made my mouth water. I used Gala apples for my Waldorf salad on Thanksgiving, and that one had golden raisins and pineapple also. Very true about the versatility of apples.
    The baking cups were so cute also!
