Serves: 1-2

Ingredients

1 gala apple
2 tablespoons quick oats (use certified gluten-free, if needed)
3 tablespoons + ¼ cup So Delicious Dairy Free Vanilla Coconut Milk Beverage
1 teaspoon brown sugar
¼ teaspoon raw honey (substitute agave or BeeFree for vegan)
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
So Delicious Dairy Free Coconut Milk Ice Cream, your choice of flavor (optional for dessert)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Wash apple. Cut a straight cut across bottom so it sits flat and doesn't roll around. Cut around the stem and hollow out where stem and seeds are. Take all seeds out.
In a small bowl mix together oats, brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of coconut milk beverage plus the raw honey. Stuff the oat filling all into the apple. Put the apple stuffed into a single serve small baking dish. Pour remaining ¼ cup coconut milk beverage in the baking dish to help steam and flavor the apple. Sprinkle cinnamon on top.
Bake for 20-30 minutes depending on the size of apple. When done take out and cut in half.
Serve for breakfast or top with a scoop of dairy free ice cream to serve as dessert.
