Cuisine: American
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 4 whole apples Empires, Jonathons, Romes preferred
  • 3 tbsp nut butter I used almond butter
  • 1 tsp cinnamon, divided
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp flax meal optional
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 1 cup apple juice or water

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350° F. Have a 9-inch pie plate or baking dish ready. 
  • Use a small paring knife or apple coring tool to remove the cores of the apples, leaving the bottoms intact. Try to remove the seeds. Peel away a strip around the top of the cavity of each apple. Sprinkle the cavities with 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Stuff the cavities with the nut butter, splitting evenly. 
     
  • Combine the flour, sugar, flax meal, and remaining cinnamon, then rub the butter in to make streusel. Spoon the streusel over the nut butter to fill the cavities to the top. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Place the filled apples into the pie plate. Pour the apple juice or water around the base of the apples and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a knife slides easily into the apples. Cool slightly and serve with shipped cream or ice cream.
