Healthy Baked Apple Dessert (Gluten-Free)

I love making a healthy baked apple dessert around this time of year! In-season, crisp and juicy apples, warm spices, filling oats and all natural ingredients come together to create the perfect anti-cancer, gluten-free apple dessert. You won't even realize it's not apple pie. It's THAT GOOD.
Serving Size 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 6 organic apples I used Gala
  • 1 cup organic raisins
  • cinnamon
  • honey
  • 1/2 cup juice or water any kind of juice

Optional Oatmeal Topping

  • 1 cup organic quick oats
  • 1/4 cup date sugar or coconut sugar
  • 4 Tbsp melted coconut oil or butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Cut 6 apples in half and remove the core.
  • In a 9X13 glass baking dish, arrange all 12 apple halves.
  • Spoon raisins into each center, about 1 Tbsp each.
  • Sprinkle the apples with cinnamon, and drizzle with honey.
  • Pour juice into the bottom of the pan.
  • Optional: If adding the topping, mix the topping ingredients, then scoop individual portions (about 1 Tbsp) onto the tops of each apple.
  • Cover with foil or a glass lid, and bake covered for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for 20 minutes, or until apples are fork-tender.
  • Serve apples warm with yogurt, whipped cream, or ice cream.
