Baked Apples with an Oat Streusel & Maple Butter Sauce {vegan + gf}
Ingredients
- 4 medium apples that bake well such as Honeycrisp or Fuji
- 1/2 cup dry oats I use old fashioned
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut or brown sugar
- 3 TBSP coconut oil
- 1/2 TSP cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
For the maple butter sauce:
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 3 TBSP creamy almond butter you want it to be a drippy one
- 1 TSP cinnamon
- 1/2 TSP vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a baking dish that will easily fit 8 apple halves with cooking spray.
- Melt the coconut oil in the microwave or in a saucepan, then set aside to let it slightly cool.
- Cut the apples in half vertically, then remove the stems and seeds. Use a spoon to make a small well in the middle of the fruit halves. Place the apples in the baking dish.
- Make the maple butter sauce in a saucepan: Combine the maple syrup, almond butter, cinnamon and vanilla over low heat. Stir continuously until it forms a smooth mixture.
- Spoon half of the maple butter sauce into the apple wells. Set aside the rest.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, coconut/brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add in the coconut oil and stir until evenly combined. Spoon the oat mixture into the apple halves.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and gooey.
- A few minutes before the apples are done cooking, warm the remaining almond butter mixture in the saucepan. Drizzle over the baked apples and enjoy!
