An apple a day…

Keeps the doctor away. I made pine syrup from the pine tips I picked on Lummi Island last weekend. I made a cocktail out of the syrup but I decided to bake with it too. I found an easy and interesting baked apples recipe using cinnamon sugar and pine syrup.

Notes:

1. I used Honeycrisp apples as they’re firmer and won’t become mushy after baking. They’re a bit more expensive than Gala and Pink Lady apples but the result is worth it.

2. I cored the apples completely.

3. To make cinnamon sugar, I used 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 Tbsp of ground cinnamon.

Enjoy this healthy dessert!
