Baked Apples with Coconut Cream

"I made two versions of this recipe: one with sugar and one without. Since I’m in the middle of a Whole30, mine was without but my husband and son thoroughly enjoyed their brown sugared variety. I find with a little bit of cinnamon, apples don’t need much sugar, they’re perfect. A few years ago I shared one of my favourite snacks with you. That snack was the Apple Cinnamon Yogurt Bowl and it was with that recipe that I discovered that apples are incredible the way they are. All you need is a little heat and cinnamon, and you’re “in the money”. I chose to use granny smith apples in this recipe because they’re my favourite. I have always preferred this tart and tangy variety as I have found it balanced well whenever I paired it with dark chocolate (my usual apple snack). With that being said, granny smiths are also known to be perfect for baking as they sweeten up as they cook. This dessert recipe for baked apples with coconut cream is a healthier spin on apple pie. It’s gluten free (no crust) and dairy free, thanks to the coconut whipped cream."
