Baked Apples with Granola
Instructions:
- 1 1/2 cups low-fat granola
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 6 medium to large Sage Fruit* Granny Smith apples
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup apple cider
- 8 ounces vanilla yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Place granola, raisins, cinnamon and maple syrup in a small mixing bowl and combine well.
- Scoop out the core from the top of each apple. Cut a small slice off the bottom so that it sits flat, but do not cut into the core opening.
- Stuff each apple with 1/4 cup of the granola mixture and dot with 1/2 tablespoon butter. Place in a shallow baking dish and pour apple cider around the apples. Bake the apples, basting occasionally, for about 1 hour, or until fork-tender and caramelized.
- Mix together yogurt and honey; drizzle over or serve with baked apples.
- Makes 6 servings.
