Description

Delicious and comforting Almond Butter Baked Apples are a warm, healthy dessert perfect for fall. Soft baked apples are filled with a luscious blend of almond butter, chopped walnuts, maple syrup, and warming spices, then baked to tender perfection. Served warm, optionally topped with creamy yogurt and extra maple syrup, this recipe offers a naturally sweet treat full of wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling and Apples

  • 4 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For Baking

  • 1/4 cup water

Optional Toppings

  • Plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
  • Extra drizzle of maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the apples.
  2. Core Apples: Carefully core each apple from the top down, leaving the bottom intact to create a well for the filling without cutting through.
  3. Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, combine almond butter, chopped walnuts, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Fill Apples: Spoon the almond butter mixture into the cored center of each apple, pressing gently to fill the cavity fully.
  5. Arrange for Baking: Place the filled apples upright in a baking dish. Pour 1/4 cup water into the bottom of the dish to help keep the apples moist during baking.
  6. First Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  7. Finish Baking: Remove the foil and continue baking the apples for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until they become tender and slightly caramelized on top.
  8. Serve: Serve the baked apples warm. Optionally, top with plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt and a drizzle of extra maple syrup for added creaminess and sweetness.

Notes

  • You can use either Honeycrisp or Fuji apples as they hold their shape well when baked.
  • Leave the bottom of the apple intact to avoid filling spilling out during baking.
  • Covering the dish with foil traps moisture, ensuring the apples bake evenly and stay tender.
  • Adjust baking time slightly depending on apple size and preferred softness.
  • Optional toppings like yogurt and more maple syrup add extra flavor and creaminess but can be omitted to keep it lighter.
