Filling and frugal, laced with warming sweet spices and crunchy walnuts, and drizzled with miso caramel sauce, these simple spiced baked apples are just the thing to warm you up on chilly autumn evenings.
Wash the apples, and using an apple corer, remove the core and pips, then place into a baking dish.
In a food processor, blitz together the walnuts, sugar, vanilla, vegan butter, cinnamon, ground cardamom, and ginger for a few seconds, until you have a coarse paste.
Remove the blade, and mix in the sultanas.
Stuff the cavities of the apples with the paste, making sure you press it in firmly.
Cover with some tin foil, and bake in the centre of the oven for 30 minutes, until the apples are soft.
Remove from the oven, and serve drizzled with miso caramel sauce.
These baked apples will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days if wrapped in tin foil.
Notes
Or use ½ teaspoon vanilla extract / 1 teaspoon vanilla paste.
