One of my favorite desserts during the holidays (or anytime). The warming spice of cinnamon helps balance blood sugar and fights inflammation making this a win win!
Ingredients:
6 large apples ( mix it up with some honey crisp and tart granny Smith)
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
2/3 cup of coconut sugar
1 pinch of nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons of fresh apple juice (or water)
1 pinch salt
Coconut whipped creme or vanilla bean ice creme (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Put to the side a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Peel, core and cut apple into quarters. Slice lengthwise into thin even slices.
Add slices to baking dish and add on top lemon juice, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cornstarch, apple juice or water, and salt. Mix to combine and cover loosely with foil.
Bake for 45 minutes covered. Remove foil and sprinkle with walnuts. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until the center is soft and the apples have caramelized a bit.
Top with coconut whipped creme or vanilla ice creme or enjoy au natural!
