5-Ingredient Cinnamon Baked Apples (Edit recipe)

The best thing about this simple cozy dessert: it’s completely customizable. You can be as minimal as you want or get creative with your filling. The key ingredients: cinnamon, some form of sugar (coconut sugar, light brown sugar, maybe even maple syrup?), and a touch of butter (or coconut oil if you prefer). Point already proven- even the key ingredients are flexible.

Process

Preheat oven to 375.
Core apples. This can be a bit tricky, but here are my tips: 1. Use a small pairing knife. 2. Make a large incision than you think- I start with a square around the core, then pop off the top. 3. From there, I insert the pairing knife into the hole I just created and kind of carve out the inside of the apple by twisting it. I repeat this until I’m able to see the seeds. If the apple is soft enough, I’ll switch to a small spoon to scoop out the seeds and any remaining tough flesh. 4. You don’t need to cut through to the bottom of the apple. 5. It’s okay if it’s not pretty
Place all ingredients in a small bowl. If butter is not at room temperature, place bowl in microwave for 30-40s to mostly melted. Stir to combine.
Scoop mixture evenly into the 2 apples. Place apples on a small baking dish.
Add in about 1/2 cup or so (enough to go up 1/4 of the way on the apples) of warm water in the pan.
Place in oven for 30-40 minutes, until apples are tender.
