Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and prepare a baking sheet or dish.
- Hold each apple on its side and carefully cut off the top. Save these tops for later.

- Stuff each apple with the almond butter mixture, filling them generously.
- Place the tops back on the apples and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet or dish.
- Drizzle the apples with extra virgin olive oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use Jonathan or Jonagold apples for best results as they hold their shape well during baking.
- You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or Nutella if preferred.
- Whole flax seeds add extra nutritional value and crunch.
- Serve warm for the best flavor.
- These apples can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated before serving.
