Ingredients

4 Apples
12 Dates
Enough water to cover the dates
1 tsp Vanilla
1/2 cup Rolled oats
1/4 cup Shredded dried coconut
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Allspice
1/4 tsp Cloves

Instructions

Apples

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees convection (or 375 regular non-convection oven). I prefer to keep the skin on the apples to add more fibre. Make sure to thoroughly wash the apples before using. Slice the 4 apples into evenly sized slices, about 2cm thick. Put the apple slices in the baking dish.

Date Mixture

Add 12 dates, enough water to cover the dates, and1 tsp vanilla to a blender jar. Blend until smooth (10 - 20 seconds in a Vitamix).
Pour the date mixture over the apples and stir to coat all the apple slices.

Topping

Make the topping by mixing oats, coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves in a measuring cup or bowl. ,
Sprinkle the topping ingredients evenly on top of the apples in the baking dish.

Baking instructions

Put the baking dish into the preheated oven, and bake at 350 degrees for 15 Minutes. The healthy sugar free apple bake should be hot and lightly browned. You can bake it longer for softer apples, or reduce baking time by up to 5 minutes if you want the apples to remain crisp.Serve this apple bake hot or cold.
