Spiced Roasted Apples

No Thanksgiving feast would be complete without a sweet treat to top it all off. Instead of the heavy pies and cakes this year, try some beautifully spiced and roasted apples. Seasonal and nutritious, roasted apples will make a sweet and satisfying end to any meal.

• 4 apples (Gala, Pink Lady, or Honeycrisp make great roasters)
• ⅓ cup rolled oats
• 4 tbsp. walnuts
• 4 tbsp. currants
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. ground cloves
• 1 tsp. ground ginger
• 1 tbsp. maple syrup
• 1 tbsp. coconut or avocado oil
• ⅓ cup apple cider
• Pinch of salt

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Wash and core the apples.

In a large bowl, combine the oats, walnuts, currants, cinnamon, cloves, maple syrup, oil, and salt. Mix until well blended.

Place the apples in a baking dish, spoon in the mixture evenly amongst the apples. Pour the cider into the bottom of the pan. Bake for about 30-40 minutes, basting the apples with cider every 10 minutes. The apples should be fork-tender.

Serve warm.
