Simple Baked Autumn Apple Recipe(Vegan), Best Lithuanian's ammunition (Photos done by me)

When in the South of Spain people are still wearing short dresses and shorts, for breakfast eat freshly picked golden oranges from their garden and season their tequila shots with lemon slices at the evening... Here, in Lithuania, mister "I will do everything to freeze you" has already come. Other countries might start panicking and tears would be pouring from the eyes as water from a waterfall but Lithuanians are cool with that and know exactly what to do. 

The streets are full of terrorist-like looking people that are hiding under thick and long scarfs, their hands are no longer made visible in those furry and fat gloves, and all the cafes, restaurants, pastry shops in the country start smelling like apples, cinnamon, powdered sugar and dried cloves. 

This is main Lithuania's ammunition that is supposed to protect us from wars, poverty and hatred. It works well so far. 

The recipe I want to share with you today is extremely simple and unlike all those apple pies, it is healthy for you(it is just apple and spices). Moreover, it is vegan/vegetarian-like, so if you worry what to prepare for your lovely friend that has just turned to be one of Vs, you are on the right way :) Let's bring to your home the loveliest smell in the world.

Ingredients:

Apples, Cinnamon, Dried Cloves, Sweetener (sugar, honey, maple syrup...), Powdered Sugar and some chopped nuts (I used toasted hazelnuts)

Preparation: 

1. Wash your lovely apples

2. Scoop inside of each apple.

3. The scooped mass needs to be chopped finer and mixed with cinnamon, dried cloves and sweetener.

4. Place all the apple mass inside the scooped apple and bake it for 25-30 min at 375F

5. When the apple is soft, take it out and sprinkle some powdered sugar, and chopped hazelnuts. 

Do you feel that even the coldest autumn or winter is no longer scary? I hope you do :)
