Paleo Over-Stuffed Baked Apples

Looking around my kitchen, I noticed some raisins and some apples.  Naturally, I thought, why not make baked apples?  I mean, they were both literally next to each other on the counter.  It was like someone was sending me a message to make baked apples.  So, I did.  It was so yummy.  I don’t make my baked apples quite like traditional baked apples.  Mine are creamy and sweet with a vanilla, maple, almond butter cream filling.  Of course, you have to have raisins in there, as well.

Ingredients:

4 apples, peeled and cored

1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk

4 Tbsp almond butter

1 Tbsp vanilla extract

2 Tbsp maple syrup, divided

1/4 cup raisins

1/4 cup water

Directions: Preheat oven to 350′ and place 4 peeled and cored apples in a pan.  In a small bowl, mix together coconut milk, almond butter, vanilla, 1 Tbsp maple syrup, and raisins.  Scoop mixture into apple cores.  It may overflow slightly.  Pour the water in the base of the pan around the apples.  Drizzle 1 Tbsp of maple syrup over the apples.  Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.  Enjoy!
