These Pumpkin Pie Stuffed Baked Apples are two healthy desserts in one easy recipe! Filled with a sweet, cinnamon pumpkin filling & delicious topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. {Vegan, Gluten-Free}

I'm the one who loves apple and pumpkin pie just the same..and also hates all pie crusts just the same. Graham cracker, lattice top, tender, tough, I don't discriminate.
So why not take the best of both, ext-nay the crust, and bake until the house smells like love?

How To Make These Pumpkin Pie Stuffed Baked Apples
Start by scooping out 6 apples, leaving the bottom intact, and enough flesh to help keep the apple's shape. Add to a 9x9 baking dish that is lined with aluminum foil, or parchment paper.
Mix together the pumpkin pie filling, by combining 1 cup pumpkin puree, ⅓ cup coconut milk, ¼ cup maple syrup 2 tablespoons ground flax, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl.

Add pumpkin filling to prepared apples evenly.
In a large bowl, mix together ¾ cups oats, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon butter or buttery spread, and 2 tablespoons maple syrup until crumbly. Top each apple with oat crumble before baking in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.

Pro Tips
- Leave the bottom of the apples and enough of the flesh intact when scooping to prevent the pie filling from running out.
- Use a firmer apple like a Gala or Granny Smith to keep the apples from getting too mushy.
- Let the apples cool after baking for at least 10 minutes to give the pie filling time to set.
FAQs
What kind of apple do I use?
I used Cortland apples for this recipe, but any firmer apple like Granny Smith, Fuji, or Gala will work too. Avoid using a softer apple like McIntosh or Jonathan, since they can get too mushy when baked.
What if I don't have flax?
You can replace the flax egg with a regular egg if not strictly vegan, or use chia seeds in place of the flax to get the same result, but to keep the recipe vegan-friendly.
Do I have to use coconut milk?
You don't have to use coconut milk if not strictly vegan. Evaporated milk can be used in place of the coconut milk if desired.

Money saving tips for this Pumpkin Pie Stuffed Baked Apples recipe:
- Buy in bulk. While it may seem like more money upfront, buying larger containers such as the oats and maple syrup can give your more for your money.
- Shop the sales. Different types of apples may be on sale at different times at your grocery store. Buy whichever one is on sale that week for the best deal.
- Use store brand. I use store brands for most everything, such as the pumpkin, coconut milk, and oats. They are a lot less expensive, and most items taste exactly the same as name brands.

Was wondering if the Coconut Milk was the one n the carton, or canned???
Emily Cooper
Hi Mary! I used the carton coconut milk.
Christina
These look so delicious! I might have to make them as a vegan alternative to the pies that will be on my family's Thanksgiving dinner table.
Kelly Jones
This is such a good idea! May have to use it as a dessert for a tv segment next week - think it would be okay if you microwave it after they're made at the station?? Or would that totes ruin it??
Emily Cooper
I reheated them in the microwave every night for dessert! 🙂 Just be aware that the pumpkin filling is more runny than usual.
Kelly jones
Awesome! I may test it out this weekend 😊
