Baked Apple Dessert with Ricotta & Honey
What I like so much about this baked apple dessert is how light and simple it is, the perfect ending for a healthy lunch or dinner!
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples
- 2 tbsp ricotta
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp honey
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- a handful pistachio nuts (or pine nuts, walnuts…)
- 4 leaves fresh mint chopped
Instructions
-
1. Slice the apples in half close to the stems, making 2 apple ‘lids’.
-
2. Then core the apple. You can use an apple corer if you got one or a sharp knife. Make sure the apples stay in one piece.
-
3. Brush the top of the apples with the lemon juice and place the lids back on them. Place the apples in an oven dish.
-
4. Place the apples in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes. After that let the apples cool down a little. In the meantime roughly crush the nuts and lightly toast them over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes while tossing them regularly.
-
5. Place the baked lukewarm apples onto dessert plates and top them with a tablespoon of the fresh ricotta. Sprinkle the apples with the toasted nuts, the freshly chopped mint. Drizzle with the honey and serve.
