Bloomin' Apple | 5 ingredient Recipe | Easy Desserts (1)

Looking for a last-minutedessert recipe to wow your friends? With just 5 easy ingredients and less than 10 minutes of prep, this oh-so-delicious Bloomin’ Apple only looks complicated. Get all of the flavor of apple pie with none of the effort!

There is just something about apples and apple pie spice in the fall that makes my heart sing. I love all the seasons here in South Dakota, but my favorite is fall. The weather, the colors and the flavors are something I look forward to all year.

This type of recipe may be new to you, but I am sure we are all familiar with blooming onions from a popular restaurant in most of our towns. The concept is pretty much the same with this apple recipe aside from the fact there is no breading or frying.

This Bloomin’ Apple recipe only uses 5 ingredients and is fairly healthy. I prefer to use coconut sugar, but brown sugar works just as well. When the apples are baked you can serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, a drizzle of caramel and a sprinkle of cinnamon or apple pie spice.

Step 4: Scoop out the core of the apple with a knife and spoon (a grapefruit spoon works well). You can also use a melon baller to do this.

Step 5: Next, with a thin, small knife make two circular, deep cuts around the center of the apple. Try to not break through the skin of the apple.

Step 8: Distribute the sugar mixture evenly between the 4 apples. Cover the entire tops of the apples, not just filling the core of the apple.
