Baked Apples Gluten Free Dessert Recipe

This gluten-free dessert is a great substitute for apple pie. There are several flour-less and sugar-less apple pie recipes on the internet, but they look time consuming. Plus, my favorite part about apple pie has always been the filling!

Serves 6

Ingredients

6 large baking apples

6 tablespoons butter, softened

1/2 teaspoon stevia (in place of 1/2 cup Rapadura sugar)

grated rind of 2 lemons

juice of 2 lemons

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon ground cardamon

1/4 cup currants or raisins

1/4 cup coarsely chopped crispy almonds or crispy pecans

Directions

1. Core apples starting at the stem and ending at the center of the apple. Don't core entirely through the apples.
2. Cream butter and stevia or honey together.
3. Stir in remaining ingredients
4. Place a spoonful of stuffing into the core of each apple.
5. Place apples in a buttered baking dish with a little water on the bottom.
6. Bake for about 2 hours at 325 degrees or until apples are tender.
