Easy cinnamon baked apples, made with just 5 ingredients and naturally sweetened. They’re low in fat, so healthy and a super delicious dessert!
My mother used to bake apples very often in fall and winter when I was a child. The kitchen smelt amazing and I love them, so I thought I should make my own recipe and share it with you guys!
She didn’t peel the apples, but I do because I think they tastes better this way, it’s up to you! She also added lots of refined white sugar and I prefer to use natural sweeteners in moderation (just 2 tablespoons), like maple syrup, which it’s my favorite one, although any sweetener will do.
This recipe is extremely simple and easy to make and only requires 5 ingredients: apples, maple syrup, cornstarch, lemon juice and ground cinnamon. Besides, it’s oil-free and low in fat and is delicious with some vegan vanilla ice cream, with our coconut whipped cream or just by itself. Hope you like it!

Hi Giorgia! Thanks a lot 🙂 Have a nice day!
Baked apples do smell up your house so nicely! I love that you’ve adapted it to use maple syrup – my favorite, too!
Hi Melissa! Yes, maple syrup makes everything tastes good 😉
Delicious!!
Hi Kelley! Thank you so much 🙂
This sounds like chunky apple pie filling. My wife is not a big fan of apple peel so does not care much for conventional baked apples. We will try this, probably with ice cream.
In your notes you have links to several “avocado” recipes. I assume you intended links to other “apple” recipes.
Hi Snocook! Yes, it was a mistake, thanks a lot for letting me know 🙂 Hope you like the baked apples!
