4 large apples, we love local McIntosh freshly picked

1 cup Gerbs 5 Seed Granola (any will work)

1/2 cup Gerbs Rolled Oats

½ cup Gerbs dried Cinnamon Apple Cubes

¼ cup Gerbs Bread Crumbs

1/2 cup Brown Sugar

2 tablespoons coconut sugar (unsalted butter sub)

4 tablespoons coconut oil – split in half

3/4 teaspoon Gerbs ground cinnamon

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

1 tsp. sea salt

Powdered Sugar

1 cup apple cider – Fresh is best

Other Options:

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Scoop out inside of all 4 apples. Place the apples in a small baking dish. In a small bowl, mix together the granola, sugar, vanilla, salt, dried apple cubes, coconut oil and cinnamon. Spoon & stuff the granola mixture into the apples. In another small bowl, add rolled oats, bread crumbs, brown sugar, & oil (butter) mix together – top onto apples.

Pour the cider around the apples in the dish, loosely cover the dish with foil and bake, basting occasionally, until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes. Set aside to cool (15 minutes) coat with powder sugar (optional).
