Is there anything more comforting and delicious than baked apples during fall and winter? At least that’s always my go to when I want something delicious, warming and comforting to eat.

A few tips:
- I used this cardamom porridge when making these apples. But if you don’t have a cardamom porridge blend then you can just use oats and cardamom.
- Use your favorite granola for these apples.
- Make sure to be careful when coring the apples not to break the sides or to avoid cutting them all the way through.
- I used Swedish winter apples when making mine. But just use an apple variety that you like.
- Try to find equally sized apples to make sure the baking time is the same for all of them.
- You can season the filling with additional flavors like vanilla, cinnamon, add raisins, fiber syrup/agave or anything else you like or have at home.
- These apples can also be served for dessert, but then I would replace the porridge with more granola instead and top them with ice cream or yogurt.
