Granola and chocolate stuffed baked apple.

Easy baked apples, filled with a simple gluten free granola, are about as autumn as you can get. They make a nice special breakfast or dessert, especially when topped with extra maple syrup.

Ingredients

4 apples cored
8 tablespoons olive oil granola*
4 squares dark chocolate optional
Maple syrup for drizzling, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line an oven safe dish with parchment paper (this helps catch any errant chocolate).
Make sure the cored area in the apples is quite large, as you want a good amount of filling. Place the apples into the prepared dish - lifting them after the filling is added won't be possible.
4 apples
Add about a tablespoon of granola into the middle of an apple, then add a square of dark chocolate, and top with another tablespoon of granola. Repeat for each apple.
8 tablespoons olive oil granola*, 4 squares dark chocolate
Bake the apples for about 30 minutes. It will depend on the size of your apples. They should be fork soft, but not completely mushy, so take them out when there's still a bit of bite.
Serve warm, with a drizzle of maple syrup or with a scoop of ice cream or yogurt.

Notes

If you don’t have any granola on hand and are experiencing a sudden craving for stuffed apples, here’s a quick fix. Mix about a half cup of rolled oats with a tablespoon each of coconut sugar, coconut oil, and dairy-free milk, add a sprinkle of cinnamon, and use that.
