Vegan Marzipan Baked Apples with Nuts
15 Min.

Preparation
1. Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 180°C top/bottom heat. Grease a baking dish with a little margarine.
2. Core the Apples:
Wash the apples. Generously remove the core using an apple corer. If you do not have a corer, use a small knife and a teaspoon.
3. The Filling:
Crumble the marzipan into small pieces. Knead together with the nuts, raisins, cinnamon, and maple syrup in a bowl until a homogeneous mixture forms.
4. Stuffing:
Firmly press the marzipan mixture into the openings of the apples.
5. Baking:
Place the apples in the baking dish. Pour the apple juice onto the bottom of the dish to keep the apples juicy. Top each apple with a small dot of margarine.
6. Duration:
Bake in the oven for 25 to 35 minutes until the skin slightly bursts and the apples are tender.
And that goes great with a creamy vanilla sauce:
1. Mix the Starch:
In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cold oat milk until smooth and free of lumps.
2. Heat the Milk:
Pour the remaining oat milk into a small saucepan along with the maple syrup, plant margarine, vanilla, and turmeric, and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
3. Thicken the Sauce:
Reduce the heat slightly and whisk in the dissolved cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly.
4. Simmer and Serve:
Let the sauce bubble up briefly while stirring until it thickens into a rich, creamy consistency. Remove from heat and pour the warm vanilla sauce generously over the finished baked apple.
