Nitrate & Nitrite Free Cinnamon-Walnut Baked Plums with Almonds

Baked stone fruit is one of those desserts that feels far more impressive than the effort involved, and this warm, spiced version delivers on every level. The plums turn silky and jammy in the oven, their natural tartness mellowing into something almost caramel-like as the juices bubble up around the edges. A crunchy mound of walnuts and almonds seasoned with cinnamon, ginger, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt sits on top of each half, toasting to a deep golden finish that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. Every ingredient here is whole and unprocessed — fresh fruit, raw nuts, coconut oil, and pure maple syrup — so there's nothing hidden to worry about, which is exactly what you want when you're being careful about what goes on the table. A final drizzle of honey pulls everything together and adds a floral sweetness that plays beautifully against the spiced nut crust. Serve it straight from the baking dish while it's still warm, and don't be surprised if people ask for seconds before they've finished their first helping.
