I love making this simple dish as a shortcut to apple pie.
For me, autumn isn’t complete without this simple and sweet warm home cooking, although it’s so spectacular that we serve it all year round.
Healthy dessert with apples
This healthy recipe calls for apples filled with cinnamon sticks and vanilla pod.
Then I season it with lemon peel, currants (although raisins or dried cherries work just as well), and a squeeze of lemon juice.

This healthy vegan dessert is nutritious and easy to make, but incredibly decadent nonetheless.
How to make baked apples
The recipe for baked apples with cinnamon calls for five simple ingredients and a baking dish.

Simply remove the core, fill the apples with four incredibly fragrant ingredients, then place them in the baking dish and bake the apples right on their skin.
Fruit as dessert
I love serving fruit for dessert to my beloved family. It’s fantastically fresh or something, pumped up in the form of cooked fruit.

To make this a low carb dessert that is easy, I made a choice not to add any sweetener.

Children’s recipe for kids
When he was eight, my child started making this simple apple dessert, which is often gluten-free.
He loved to cook and stand in the kitchen with me while I was next to him trying out recipes for my first cookbook.
This was one of the recipes he kept making because it really is a straightforward kid’s recipe that is easy to make and has a big wow factor when it’s done.
My little guy was and still is very self-determined in the kitchen since he’s twenty-three!
You can see him above making gluten-free croissants from scratch!

Not only is this dessert quick to make, it’s a super fun project.
All you have to do is core the apples, lay out the fillings and have the kids put in the baking dish and fill them, then eat them with homemade vegan vanilla ice cream.
