Baked apple is a comforting dessert that evokes classic flavors. In this version, we elevate the dish by pairing it with a smooth, aromatic crème anglaise, completely free of added sugars and lactose. By using Stevia1:3, we achieve a balanced sweetness that enhances the fruit’s natural acidity, while the plant-based drink lets us enjoy a creamy texture without the discomfort of lactose. It is a light, easy-to-digest dessert packed with fiber.
Estimated time: 40 minutes.

Number of servings and extra details:
This recipe is designed for 4 servings. Baked apples provide a large amount of pectin, a soluble fiber excellent for gut health. For the crème anglaise, it is essential to control the temperature so the egg does not overcook; using Stevia1:3 helps achieve a smooth, delicious result with very little product.

Step-by-Step Professional Preparation
1. Baking the apples:
Wash the apples and remove the core with a corer, making sure not to go all the way through so the juices stay inside. Make a small circular cut in the skin to prevent them from bursting. Place them in an ovenproof dish with a finger’s depth of water and bake at 180ºC for 25-30 minutes, until tender.
2. Infusing the milk:
While the apples are baking, heat the plant-based drink in a saucepan with the cinnamon stick and lemon peel. When it starts to boil, remove from the heat, cover, and let infuse for 10 minutes.
3. Making the crème anglaise:
In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the Stevia1:3 and the pinch of Bonsalt until slightly foamy. Gradually pour the infused milk (strained) over the yolks, stirring constantly. Return the mixture to very low heat (or to a double boiler) and stir nonstop with a spatula until the cream thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Important: do not let it boil or it will curdle.
4. Plating and finishing touch:
Serve each baked apple in a deep plate or bowl. Pour a generous amount of hot or warm crème anglaise around the fruit. Finish by sprinkling a little ground cinnamon on top to enhance the aroma.
This dessert is ideal to enjoy after a light dinner. Give it a try for your guests and share a sweet, traditional, 100% healthy bite!
