Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 4 medium-sized apples (ideally Honeycrisp or Fuji) Feel free to use other firm varieties if needed.
  • 1 cup granola (preferably coconut-flavored) Plain granola works too if you prefer a more custom flavor.
  • 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut Switch to unsweetened coconut for a less sugary option.
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts Any other nuts can be substituted if you like.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Consider experimenting with nutmeg or cardamom for a unique twist.
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar White sugar can easily stand in.
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted) Try using coconut oil for a dairy-free alternative.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Balances out the sweetness in the mix.
For the Drizzle
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar Granulated sugar can be blended to make your own powdered version.
  • 2 tablespoons coconut milk or cream Other plant-based milks can be used if preferred.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking dish by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Core the medium-sized apples, creating a generous well for the filling.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the granola, shredded sweetened coconut, chopped pecans or walnuts, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt. Mix until well distributed.
  4. Drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the granola mixture and stir until all ingredients are well coated.
  5. Pack the granola filling into the hollowed-out apples, pressing gently to ensure they are tightly filled.
  6. Place the stuffed apples upright in the greased baking dish and scatter any leftover granola mixture around them.
  7. Generously drizzle caramel sauce over the stuffed apples.
  8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes until the apples are tender.
  9. While the apples bake, whisk together the powdered sugar and coconut milk until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the coconut sauce over each apple once out of the oven.
  11. Serve warm, optionally paired with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
