Description

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Peel the apples, leaving them whole. If necessary, trim the bottoms slightly so they sit flat. Remove the core with a small paring knife or an apple corer tool. Use a small spoon or melon baller to scrape out some of the apple's flesh to make room for the stuffing. Don't go through to the bottom; the filling will fall through.
-
Peel and cut the pear in half. Scoop out the core in both halves.
-
Combine the pecans, prunes, and raisins in a small bowl.
-
Arrange the apples and pears in an oven-proof dish. Generously stuff the nut mixture into the apple and pear cavities. Top each with a light sprinkling of cinnamon, one tablespoon of margarine, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
-
Cover loosely with foil and bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes.Â
Remove the foil and continue baking for approximately 10 - 15 minutes or until golden.
-
Divide the apples and pears carefully between serving plates and pour over any pan juices. Serve warm by themselves or with a dollop of vegan ice cream, and enjoy!
