Autumn is here, and with it comes an abundance of comforting recipes. But really, who can resist the flavors of Fall!? Cinnamon, pumpkin, apples, oh my! This Autumn Baked Apples recipe by Koko Brill is all about apples, baked until soft and juicy, and stuffed to capacity with a mixture of oats, cranberries, ginger, orange zest, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Time to begin your vegan Fall baking! I baked these apples in a muffin tin with a tablespoon of water in each hole. Feel free to do this, but put a tray underneath, as it is likely they will boil over. If your apples are large, just use a big baking dish and put a bit of water on the bottom. I would pair these delicious apples with your favorite non-dairy ice cream for an irresistible treat!
