Baked Apples with Orange, Lemon and Spices
Baked apples with orange, lemon, and cinnamon are a simple, healthy, and naturally sweet dessert with no added sugar.
Servings 2 portions
Ingredients
- 2 Golden apples
- 1/4 lemon zest and juice
- 1/4 orange zest and juice
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 50 ml water
- 1/4 tsp Ground cinnamon to sprinkle
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF).
- Wash the apples and remove the core. To keep them upright, make a small cut at the base.
- Place the apples in a baking dish with a little water at the bottom.
- Sprinkle the apples with ground cinnamon and add the cinnamon stick to the dish.
- Add the zest of 1/4 lemon and 1/4 orange, then squeeze their juice over the apples.
- Bake for 25 minutes at 180ºC. Baking times may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them. The apples will open slightly when they are done.
- Allow them to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
Notes
Serving ideas: Enjoy them plain, or with whipped cream, coconut cream, melted dark chocolate, or a handful of fresh berries. The contrast between the sweetness of apples and the acidity of berries is especially delicious.
