Lupin Free Honey-Cinnamon Baked Apples
Warm, fragrant, and deeply comforting, these baked apples are the kind of dessert that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. Each apple is cored and packed with a buttery oat filling seasoned with Ceylon cinnamon and a hint of ginger, then baked until the skins wrinkle and the filling turns golden. A splash of water in the baking dish creates just enough steam to keep everything tender and luscious without any fuss. The ingredient list is refreshingly straightforward — fruit, oats, butter, honey, and a few warm spices — so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden legume-based flours or fillers that can sneak into packaged baked goods. A finishing drizzle of honey adds a glossy sweetness, and an optional dollop of fresh ricotta makes it feel genuinely special. This is the kind of simple, wholesome recipe that works just as well on a weeknight as it does when you're entertaining guests.

4 servings
- 4 medium baking apples (such as honeycrisp or fuji)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tbsp honey
- ⅓ cup rolled oats
- 1 tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ⅛ tsp fine salt
- ½ cup water
For serving
- 1 tbsp honey, for drizzling
- 2 tbsp fresh ricotta (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a melon baller or small spoon, core each apple from the top, removing the seeds and creating a cavity about 1 inch wide and 1½ inches deep — leave the bottom intact so the filling stays in place.

In a small bowl, stir together the softened butter, 3 tbsp honey, rolled oats, Ceylon cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt until a cohesive, crumbly mixture forms.
