These baked apples stuffed with so many nice and healthy ingredients will make a truly healthy breakfast, a yumm dessert or awesome snack no matter whether is served hot or cold.
Preheat the oven at 190°C/ 375F and take out an ovenproof dish.
Wash and core the apples * (see recipe notes).
Place the cored apples into the prepared oven dish, add one tablespoon sugar into each apple cavity and set aside.
Into a bowl, add the oatmeal, barley flakes, salt, almond flour, desiccated coconut, seeds, cinnamon powder, and nuts. Give it all a good mix. Add the butter and crumble this with the flakes mixing until it becomes uniformly mixed.
Fill up/stuff the apples with the mixture, drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey or any syrup over each apple, and place in the oven.
Bake for 30-50 minutes depending on the apple size. Enjoy hot or cold with or without a dollop of cream or ice cream.
Notes
* You may use any nuts and seeds you like. Other delicious twists you could give to this baked apple recipe can be adding raisins, dry cranberries, dry cherries orange juice, orange peel, rum essence (I love rum with apples it’s terrific) rolled oats, or make the traditional crumbles with flour, sugar, and butter)* For a vegan option replace the honey with maple syrup, agave, or dates syrup and the butter with any nut butter or coconut oil that is nice and solid.* Feel free to use more butter if you wish.* Add more sugar in the flakes mix if you wish, so if you decide to, do this in step 4.  I personally do not like it overly sweet and if you feel this recipe is not reaching the level of desired sweetness you can always add more syrup or even some naughty but so nice caramel sauce when serving. Well, a scoop or two of ice cream, a couple of spoons of creme fraiche, creme boolla boolla, some coconut whipped cream, or some plain creamy Greek yogurt are also some great ideas!
