Description
A simple recipe for baked apples with a vegan cinnamon caramel topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Gala)
- 1/2 cup vegan butter
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk (soy or almond)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Wash the apples. Core the apples, leaving the bottom intact so the caramel mixture stays inside.
- In a small saucepan, combine the vegan butter, brown sugar, plant-based milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. This is your caramel sauce.
- Place the cored apples in the prepared baking dish.
- Spoon the caramel sauce evenly into the center cavity of each apple. Pour any remaining sauce over the tops of the apples.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use firm apples that hold their shape well during baking.
- You can sprinkle extra cinnamon on top before serving if you like more spice.
