Ingredients
Apples
- 4 red apples
- 125 g raisins
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 50 g pecans
- 5 tbsp coconut palm sugar
Coconut cream
- 100 g coconut cream
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut palm sugar
- 2 tbsp almond butter
Instructions
To make the apples, preheat the oven to 200°C (fan-forced 180°C).
Use an apple corer to take the core out of the apples so that there is a hole from top to bottom.
Mix the raisins, cinnamon, pecans and coconut sugar together. Place the apples on a baking tray and stuff the core with the raisin mix, then sprinkle all of the leftover mix around the apples. Drizzle 6 tbsp water over the leftovers around the apples. Place the apples in the oven and allow them to bake for 30 minutes, until they’re totally soft.
To make the coconut cream, just before the apples finish cooking, put the coconut cream in a blender with 10 tablespoons of boiling water and all the other ingredients and blend until smooth.
To serve, put each apple in a bowl to serve with a scoop of the raisin mix from the tray, and then pour the coconut cream over everything.
Note
• If you don’t have an apple corer, then cut around the core with a knife and scoop out the core with a spoon.
