    Enjoy some cranberry stuffed apples with brown sugar and spices! A delicious healthier winter treat! Just a couple hundred calories or less per apple and oh so warm and delicious! (gluten free, dairy free, nut free option, soy free, vegan, vegetarian)

    Ingredients in Stuffed Apples

    All you need are some common ingredients to make these homemade and delicious apples!

    I've been making over recipes since I was ten. Back then I wasn't so great at it and created everything from rubber cakes for my Dad's birthday to rock muffins that put a hole in the wall.

    Diagnosed with colitis ten years ago and with three young children I had to learn to cook. But life was busy and there wasn't a lot of time to cook or figure out what I could eat!

    Burnt Apple became my personal coffee shop--a place to share, talk and vent! I share minimal ingredient recipes with five ingredients or less and ready in under thirty minutes!
