Faux-Baked Cinnamon Apples
Servings: 3–4
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3 cups jicama, cubed and boiled* (1 small jicama)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1–2 teaspoons cinnamon (I like them with 2 teaspoons.)
- sweetener of choice, to taste
- dash of salt
Directions:
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut the coconut oil and place the jicama in a casserole dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon, sweetener, and salt.
Bake covered for 30–40 minutes or until soft, stirring after 20 minutes. I removed the lid for the last 10 minutes to remove the moisture.
Serve hot with some dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
Quick Notes:
To boil the cubed jicama, cover it with water and boil for 30–45 minutes (depends on size of cubes) until soft. This can be done ahead of time; store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Variations:
You could combine some almond flour, pieces of butter or coconut oil, and sweetener to make a topping. I’d add the topping once you have removed the lid to finish cooking. You could turn on the broiler for a few seconds to brown the topping too!
