Baked Apples with Cinnamon

Baked Apples with Cinnamon

All the flavor of apple pie without the butter-laden crust. Baking concentrates the apple’s natural sweetness while cinnamon adds warmth and helps regulate blood sugar.

Ingredients

• 2 large apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
• 2 tbsp chopped walnuts
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 tbsp raisins
• 2 tbsp water

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Core apples from the top, leaving the bottom intact. Place in a baking dish.

3. Mix walnuts, cinnamon, honey, and raisins in a small bowl.

4. Stuff the mixture into the cored apples.

5. Pour 2 tbsp water into the bottom of the baking dish.

6. Bake for 25 minutes until apples are tender but not collapsing.

7. Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of Greek yogurt.
