Instructions
Prep: Preheat oven to 375℉. Take 3 apples and use a cookie dough scoop to scoop out the insides leaving a hollow apple shell - save the insides, minus the core and seeds.
Bake Apples: Place prepped apples in an oven-safe pan, hollow side up, and cook for 5-7 minutes.
Combine: Meanwhile, place 1 cup raw pecans and ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes in a food processor and pulse until they are roughly ground. Pour mixture into a medium mixing bowl and add ¾ cup almond flour, 3 tablespoons coconut sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg and ¼ teaspoon ground allspice. Mix well. Add 6 tablespoons coconut oil, 3 tablespoons maple syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Using a fork, combine until clumps start to form.
Apple Insides: Take 1 cup of the apple insides and chop roughly. Add to the mixing bowl and mix well.
Bake Stuffed Apples: Using a cookie scoop, scoop filling into each apple. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Serve: Enjoy with extra pecans and maple syrup to drizzle (or even some whipped coconut cream).
