Baked Apples (serves 4)
Baked apples make the house smell great and taste delightful!
4 med apples, cored (I like Empire)
1/3 cup chopped craisins
1/3 cup pecans
4 tsp butter
2 Tbl maple syrup
¼ tsp cinnamon
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
2. In a small skillet or sauté pan, sauté pecans in the butter. Add remaining ingredients (craisins, maple syrup, and cinnamon) and spoon into the cored apples.
3. Bake in a heavy pan with ¼ cup of water in the bottom for about 20 minutes until apples are just soft.
4. Serve as is or add plain yogurt or cottage cheese. This makes a healthy and delicious breakfast.
