Rosh Hashanah is right around the corner, it’s week 1 of the September cleanse, AND the fall equinox is coming up. So this is perfect timing to share one of my favorite fall recipes! Enter: Spiced Baked Apples.
This delicious, comforting, cleanse-friendly treat is equally perfect for anyone celebrating the Jewish New Year or the transition into autumn.
Why apples? Traditionally, Rosh Hashanah is celebrated by eating apples with honey to welcome in a sweet and happy New Year.
These Spiced Baked Apples are naturally sweet, but they’ll pair beautifully with some honey drizzled on top for an even sweeter New Year.
Plus they’re a healthy treat the whole family can enjoy together! Whether you’re celebrating the Jewish High Holidays or just soaking up some cozy early fall vibes, these apples will hit the spot.
Check out the recipe below and let me know if you add anything special to your baked apples.
With love and a sweet New Year,
Spiced Baked Apples
Yield: 4 Servings
Ingredients:
- 4 Pink Lady apples, cored and cut into 1” chunks (you can use your favorite variety!)
- 1 ½ tbsp coconut oil
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ginger
- 1 star anise pod
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions:
Heat your oven to 375ºF. In a medium sized bowl place apples, coconut oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, star anise, rosemary sprigs, and sea salt. Toss together until the apples are well coated with the coconut oil and spices.
Place mixture on a sheet tray and spread the apples so they are not touching. Put the tray into a warm oven. Roast until caramelized and tender, approximately 25 minutes.
Remove the rosemary sprigs and the star anise. Serve and enjoy!
