Ingredients
- 6 Honeycrisp apples
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 cup canned coconut milk, divided
- 2/3 cup roasted cashews, plus more for serving, optional
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, plus more for serving
- 1/2 cup raisins, plus more for serving, optional
Directions
Step 1 –Cut the sides off of 1 of the apples and slice. Reserve.
Step 2 –Peel and core the remaining 5 apples and cut into 1-inch chunks.
Step 3 –In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the apple chunks, 3/4 cup of the coconut milk, and the water.
Step 4 –Simmer the apple mixture, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced by 1/2 and the apples are tender and easily mashed with a fork, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 5 –Transfer the saucepan from the heat and gently mash the apples, making sure to leave some chunks for texture.
Step 6 –While the apples are cooking, pulse the cashews in a food processor until they are completely ground and resemble flour. Be careful not to make butter by overmixing.
Step 7 –Transfer the cashew grounds to a medium bowl, reserving some in a separate bowl for serving.
Step 8 –Stir the flaxseed and the cinnamon into the cashew grounds.
Step 9 –Fold the cashew mixture and the raisins into the mashed apple mixture and stir until well-combined.
Step 10 –Divide the cereal mixture into 4 bowls and drizzle each with the remaining coconut milk.
Step 11 –Top each bowl with the reserved apple slices, the extra crushed cashews, the extra raisins, and the extra cinnamon.
Step 12 –Serve.
