Ingredients
  

  • 4 red or green apples
  • 8 tsp. red currant jelly see notes for alternatives
  • 2 tsp. vegan butter see notes for alternatives

For serving:

  • cinnamon powder

Instructions
 

  • Wash the apples well, remove the seeds by making a vertical circular hole with a special tool (apple corer) or a knife, and place them in a small recipient (like a pyrex) with parchment paper.
  • Fill each apple with 1 full tsp. red currant jelly, ½ tsp. vegan butter and on top, add another 1 full tsp. jelly. You can sprinkle some cinnamon too!
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C/347°F for about 30 minutes (baking time depends on the oven).
  • Serve while they are hot and add cinnamon on top.

Notes

1. You can use green apples, if you don't like very sweet flavors.
2. Alternatives: If you want to replace the butter and jelly, you can put 1½ tsp. agave or maple syrup or sugar and ½ tsp cinnamon (adjust the quantity to your personal taste).
