Baked Apples with Cinnamon & Oats – Slimming Style
These baked apples are a delightful, low-fat dessert that satisfy a sweet craving without the guilt. The mix of apple, cinnamon, oats and a touch of honey creates a comforting, almost-crumble-like pudding that’s quick and simple to make.
Just look at the apples
They look beautiful and inviting.
How to make Baked Apples
It’s very straightforward. Core your apples (you can use a corer or a sharp knife) and keep the skins on. Place the cored apples in an ovenproof dish.
Fill your apples before baking
Fill each apple with oats, sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with honey. If you have extra oats, scatter them around the apples in the dish. Add a little water to the base of the dish to keep them moist while baking.
Then bake — that’s it!
Baked Apples cooking time
For medium-sized apples, bake approximately 30 minutes. They should become tender without turning mushy.
How to serve your Baked Apples
Serve warm in a bowl with 0% fat Greek yogurt and a little vanilla paste for extra flavour. Simple and delicious.
The details
If you’re following slimming plan rules, you may need to count the fruit. This is an approximate breakdown based on the original recipe:
- One eating apple (e.g. Pink Lady): 2.5 Syns
- Oats: 30g for 2 apples (counts as roughly 1/2 Healthy B)
- Honey: 1 teaspoon per apple (approx. 1 Syn)
- Estimated total per apple: about 3.5 Syns + 1/2 Healthy B
These are estimates — adjust to fit your plan.
Other baked fruit recipes
If you enjoy baked fruit, try baked nectarines with cherries and vanilla cream for another easy, healthy treat. They’re simple to prepare and scale up for more people by increasing the fruit.
