Healthy recipe from Jillian Michaels. Ingredients:
1 large apple |
2 teaspoons reduced-fat cream cheese |
1 small pear |
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar |
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, ground |
2 tablespoons almonds, chopped |
3 tablespoons water |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F Slice apple in half. Use a spoon or small ice cream scoop to scoop out some apple flesh from each half, leaving some room for filling. (You can just eat the apple flesh; no need to reserve.) Dab cream cheese in the cavity of each half.
2. Dice pear. Toss pear with brown sugar and cinnamon; fill each apple half with diced pear, reserving extra for another use. Sprinkle pear filling with almonds, pressing down to make them adhere. Place apple halves in a baking dish and add water or apple juice. Cover and bake for 30 minutes, then baste with juices and bake uncovered for 10 minutes or until almonds are roasted.
