Well the baked apples were a bust. Not quite sweet enough. I didn't use any natural sweetener just cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice, and a little almond flour. I did sprinkle lemon juice over the sliced apples but still was not a fan. Now what?
Luckily, this morning I was making a batch of Steel Cut Oats for breakfast and ding ding ding...use the baked apples as a topping! It tasted great and was the perfect hearty breakfast. I made enough oats to last 3 more days with plenty baked apples left over.
Here's the baked apple recipe I used (made up)
5-6 Granny Smith Apples
1/2 tsp all spice
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 1/2 T cinnamon
1/3 C fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 C Almond Flour
Stevia or Truvia (optional)
Core, peel, and slice apples. Throw in a zip lock bag. Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Add the mixture to the apples and shake em' up. Spread onto 9x13 baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350.
I used Whole Foods 365 brand steel cut oats and made 4 servings. You can also top with walnuts or almonds to make them even more delicious!
