Baked Apples with Almond-Date Paste

Ingredients

• 12 x small, fresh dates
• 4 tbsp almond butter
• 1 tbsp dairy free butter
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 tbsp almond milk
• 6 x apple

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. To a small food processor, add dates, almond butter, butter, cinnamon, salt and 2 tablespoons plant-based milk. Blend until smooth and easily spreadable – you might need to add a few more tablespoons of almond/oat milk.
2. Wash the apples well and use an apple corer to get rid of the cores. Use the rear end of a teaspoon to fill the apples with the almond / date paste. Place the stuffed apples in an ovenproof dish and bake for 45 min - 1 hour.
3. Let them cool for 10 minutes before serving with vegan custard, plant-based whipped cream or dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
