Baked Apples Stuffed with Cinnamon Date Pecans (serves 2-4)INGREDIENTS: - 2 large firm baking apples, cored - 1 cup rolled oats - 1 teaspoon cinnamon - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg - 4 Medjool dates (or raisins), pitted and chopped - 1 tablespoon chia seeds (or try ground flax) - 1/4 cup pecans (or walnuts), chopped - 1.5 cups almond milk - 1 teaspoon vanilla - 1.5 tablespoon pure maple syrup, plus more for garnish INSTRUCTIONS: - Preheat oven to 350F. Wash and core apples. You want to make the hole about an inch in diameter, so there is enough room for stuffing. Place cored apples in a lightly oiled rimmed baking dish (I used a 4 cup dish). - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the rest of the ingredients. - Fill apples with the oatmeal mixture (pack it down slightly) and spoon the leftover oatmeal + all liquid into the dish, surrounding the apples. - Bake, uncovered, for approximately 35-50 minutes (this time will vary depending on your apples, so keep an eye on it). To test for doneness, pierce apple with a knife. If it slides through fairly easy it’s done. The almond milk should also be absorbed and the oatmeal fairly firm. - Serve with drizzle of pure maple syrup, apple butter or pumpkin butter, whipped coconut cream, non-dairy ice cream, or yogurt. - Enjoy it hot or cold, for breakfast, snacking, or dessert a la mode!
