The season is turning, nights are getting crisp and soon the leaves will start to turn colors. As we feel these changes we start to turn to cozy comforts and warming recipes. This simple recipe is the perfect comfort food for the season. It's easy to make and celebrates Autumn with seasonal apples and warming spices.
Ingredients:
- 4-5 Apples
- 1 Cup Almonds or Walnuts
- 2 TBSP Honey
- 2 TBSP Butter or Coconut Oil
- Spices
Recipe:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut your apples in half and remove the cores. Lay them in a baking dish with the cut side facing up.
- Sprinkle the apples with Chai Spice Blend our own recipe of 9 organic spices.
- Chop nuts into your desired size, about 1/4 inch or smaller is best.
- Melt butter or coconut oil in a pan, add the chopped nuts and Pumpkin Spice Infused Honey, mix together well.
- With a spoon, place a dollop of the nuts, honey and butter (or oil) in the center of the apples where the core used to be.
- Poor a little water in the bottom of the dish for moisture.
- Place in the oven with a lid for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes remove the lid, baste the apples with the juices that have collected at the bottom of the pan and return to the oven for another 15 minutes. If you want to baste them again before they are done, go for it!
- Remove from oven and baste one more time, let cool.
- Serve warm on their own or with whipped cream or ice cream.
NOTE:
The more you baste them the juicier they will be so feel free to baste a couple extra times. We also recommend some of our other Infused Honeys for this recipe:
- Cardamom Honey
- Cinnamon Honey
- Chai Spice Honey
- Candy Cap Mushroom Honey
