This trade secret is a party favourite! Clean as a whistle and gluten, dairy and sugar free, this recipe is a winter dessert favourite.

It contains three ingredients - apples, dates and coconut yoghurt, and can be whipped up in 15 minutes from ingredients that I usually keep in my fridge.

Did I mention that it’s also delicious! Best enjoyed with tart apples like Granny Smith, but can easily be whipped up with any apples you have sitting in the fruit bowl.

The only tricky bit is learning to de-core an apple without maiming yourself! Check out this video. Use the first technique using a sharp knife and leaving your apples whole. The second technique works if you have an apple corer.

Baked Apples and Coconut Yoghurt

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 4 Granny Smith apples (or other type of apple that is preferably a little tart)

  • Dates - as many as you are able to stuff in the hollowed out core of the apple - the more the better

  • Optional: cinnamon

  • Coconut yoghurt to serve

Directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celcius.

  • Decore the apples as shown in the how to video above.

  • Stuff the hollowed out core of each apple with dates - as many as possible. The dates will caramelise on baking.

  • Sprinkle with cinnamon powder.

  • Bake for 20mins or until the apples are bulging out and soft throughout.

  • Serve with coconut yoghurt on the side.
