Baked apples are still a healthy snack that can help you maintain your overall health.

The Roxbury russet is an apple with its skin a brown color. Relatively dry and has a powdery texture. This variety of apples is a little sweet and sour, thus making it excellent for cooking. Roxbury apple has got an excellent mellow flavor once cooked. Many apples wouldn’t keep very long, but Roxbury russet can. You can dry them over the fire, store them and use them late in the winter as it keeps pretty well in a barrel.

“Maça Renata” apples as it’s called in Portugal, these apples are commonly used in cooking desserts. It has different names in different places. 

Apple season has arrived, and I’ve been daydreaming about this baked apple recipe for quite some time. When I opened the oven and saw these delicate, cinnamon-coated, perfectly caramelized apples, my kitchen dreams came true! Allow me to demonstrate.

These baked apples are delicious on their own, but with a scoop of Vanilla Bean Coconut Ice Cream or Coconut Whipped Cream, they’re even better.

I am sure that you all will love this recipe as it is tender, naturally sweetened, caramelized, comforting, super satisfying, and above all, delicious.
