Vegan cinnamon baked apples are a warm, comforting dessert perfect for the fall season. These delightful treats are not only delicious but also suitable for those following a plant-based diet.

Ingredients Needed for Baked Apples
To prepare this mouthwatering dessert, you will need the following ingredients:
- 7 apples
- 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
For the cinnamon filling:
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons firm coconut oil
Lastly, prepare a topping of agave or maple syrup and chopped pistachios, along with vegan whipped cream for indulgent finishing touches.
How to Prepare Cinnamon Baked Apples
Begin by preheating your oven to 390°F. Cut the tops off 6 apples and set them aside. Peel and dice the remaining apple, squeezing lemon juice over the cut surfaces to prevent browning. Core the apples and cook the diced apple with brown sugar and cinnamon on low heat until softened.
Next, fill the hollowed apples with the stewed apple mixture and prepare the crumble topping by mixing flour, oats, sugars, cinnamon, and firm coconut oil. Apply this on top of your prepared apples, cover them with their tops, and bake in the preheated oven for 15-30 minutes.
Allow to cool, then serve your vegan cinnamon baked apples drizzled with syrup, topped with whipped cream and chopped pistachios. Enjoy this festive treat with family and friends!
