¼ cup honey

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon vanilla extract
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Whisk the honey, cinnamon and vanilla together in a small bowl. Set aside.
02 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
03 -
Using a sharp knife, core the apples leaving the sides ½-¾ inch thick. Place the cored apples in the prepared baking dish.
04 -
In a bowl, combine the coconut sugar, rolled oats, chopped pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg, and melted butter. Mix until well incorporated.
05 -
Divide the filling mixture evenly between the cored apples, gently packing it in. Pour the apple juice around the apples in the dish.
06 -
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40-45 minutes until the apples are tender.
07 -
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to crisp up the filling.
08 -
Remove from oven and serve each apple with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a generous drizzle of the cinnamon honey sauce.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Begin checking the apples after about 30 minutes of baking to determine remaining cook time. Apples with larger cores will cook faster.
02 -
To make a smaller batch, halve the filling ingredients for just 4 apples while keeping the other quantities the same.
