Baked Apples
Before we get too far, let me disclose that this is a Feed Your Vitality recipe from the SHAPE/hCG line. An official recipe is available in Ashley Nanney's "SHAPE ReClaimed: Simple Recipes for Phase 1" cookbook. I make this regularly at home when I wish for something "apple pie-esque."
Ingredients
- 1 apple peeled, cored and chopped in half
- Juice of 1 orange
- 5 drops English toffee flavored stevia
- Apple pie spice or Pumpkin pie spice to taste
- Cinnamon sticks and cloves optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a small bowl mix fresh orange juice, cinnamon, apple pie spice and stevia to taste. Pour over top of apples.
- Wrap in foil or place in an oven safe dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Notes
A variation of this includes cutting the apple into small chunks, marinating with the orange juice and seasonings, and topping with NutThins (or any other gluten-free/dairy-free cracker) before baking. The cracker adds a great crunch to the dessert. You can also replace the apple with grapefruit, peach or any other fruit you desire.
