Recipe Tips for High Protein Baked Apples

Choose The Right Apples: Opt for sweet and slightly tart apples; however, any apples that are firm and hold shape while baking. Go for granny, gala, and honey gold to make the best baked apples at home.

Check Apples While Baking: If apples aren’t fork-tender, let them bake for another 5 minutes or until they turn soft with a golden hue.

Make It Your Own: Customize the filling to your liking. Add your favourite nut butter, orange zest, raisins, nuts, or seeds.

Make It Nut-Free: Opt for a seed butter or nut-free butter such as tahini or sun butter!

Make It Sugar-Free: Do not use maple syrup if you prefer a less sweet taste. Baking apples results in a satisfyingly sweet taste so that you won’t miss any sweetness.

Customize Your Protein Icing: Add a flavorful twist to the recipe by experimenting with different protein powder flavors. Opt for cold brew latte-flavored protein or chocolate-flavored protein powder for a fun twist to this recipe.

How to core your apples? You can core apples using an ice cream scooper or an apple corer. If you opt for the ice cream scooper, gently pivot it in circles over the apple’s center, creating a perfect hole for your filling. Alternatively, the apple corer method involves a simple push toward the bottom of the apple and twisting the corer. Remember to save the apple scraps without the core. They can be a delightful addition to smoothies, homemade applesauce, or even tossed into your morning oatmeal.
