1 tsp cinnamon

pinch cardamon

pinch sea salt

1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Cut the cores out of the apples, but don't cut through to the bottom because you want the juices to stay in

4. Stuff each apple with the mixture

5. Place apples in a baking dish with enough water to lightly coat the bottom of the pan

6. Bake apples for 30 minutes

This is a super easy and healthy dessert perfect for fall weather! You also get to warm up your house because of the oven use. I actually like to open the oven once I am done cooking and it's turned off, just to let the excess heat warm up the house and make it cozy. I started to cook these apples before I started the main course, that way when the main course is done, dessert is also done. If your main course takes longer to cook, just leave the apples in the oven to keep warm, but make sure you turn the oven off. I prefer to keep the apples in the oven until I bring them to the table to eat so that they are warm. You can use honey or maple syrup in place of the brown rice syrup if you prefer. I just wanted to try to make it healthier since the brown rice syrup has a low glycemic index and is a healthier alternative to refined sugar.
