Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
Core the apples, making sure to leave the bottoms intact. Cut off the top of
each apple, about 1/4 inch from the top. -
In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons lime juice and 2 cups water. Soak
the apples in the water for about 5 minutes to prevent browning. -
In another bowl, add almond butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract,
remaining lime juice, and pumpkin spice. Mix together. -
Remove apples from water and pat dry. Stuff each apple with 1 tablespoon
almond butter mixture. Once all apples are stuffed, place them in a deep
baking dish. Add about 1/2 inch water to the baking dish, and make sure
apples are upright in the water. (The water keeps the apples from drying out.)
Bake for 1 hour. While the apples bake, keep an eye on the water level; add
more water if needed. - Once apples are fork tender, remove from baking dish and serve.
