    Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the almond flour and apple puree, divide the mixture into muffin tins, and shape the baskets with your fingers. Distribute the cooked apples in the baskets and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C).

Ago's Notes

  • Adjust the salt based on the salt content of the canned goods.

May the sweet flavor of the apples blend with the warmth of cinnamon, creating a harmonious balance that will make each bite memorable. Enjoy these vegan and gluten-free apple baskets, perfect for breakfast, snacks, or post-dinner treats.
