Nothing, and I mean nothing, beats the smell of baked apples! It’s something about the smell that feels so comforting and safe, just like being back at my childhood home. Ok, mix it with cinnamon and it actually gets even better. It smells just like apple pie, and who doesn’t love a good apple pie?! These tender warm apples are filled with a granola, oat, seed and cardamom mixture that is crunchy and just sweet enough. It’s like eating a crustles crumble pie. Not only are they incredibly delicious, they’re also silly easy to make and ready to serve in just 20 minutes. You can easily adapt and vary them depending on what you have at home or are in the mood for! Use different types of granola, use nuts instead of seeds, add raisings, figs or dates to or use different spices. You can serve them for breakfast or afternoon snack with some Greek Yogurt (vegan yogurt), nut or seed butter but even as a dessert either with yogurt or swap it for ice cream or vanilla custard.
A few tips:
- Use any apples that you like or have at home. But I would recommend you not to use bland or almost tasteless apples since.
- Use equally sized apples to ensure the baking time is the same for all apple halves.
- The amount of sweetener can be adapted according to taste and how sweet your granola is.
- These apples can be baked both in an air fryer or in the oven. The oven takes slightly longer time.
- You can replace and mix your seeds just as you like or take what you have at home.
- I would recommend you to eat the apples when freshly baked and still warm. They can however be reheated on low heat in the oven or using a microwave. If reheating in the oven make sure to put them in an oven safe baking dish and cover them with aluminium foil to prevent them from turning out dry.
