Cool autumn weekend treat! I had a lazy Sunday afternoon and wanted to make a healthy treat to eat while watching football. Since I didn't have the more traditional cranberry accompaniment I used blueberries and was pleasantly surprised! My measurements are approximate because I just eyeballed my recipe. Ingredients:
8 whole apples, cored (orchard picked or store bought) |
1/2 pint fresh blueberries |
1/4 cup dark brown sugar |
2 tablespoons butter |
4 teaspoons cinnamon |
3 tablespoons water |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Core apples with end of peeler.
3. Generously sprinkle cinnamon in each apple, reserving some for topping.
4. Place a few blueberries in each apple.
5. Sprinkle dark brown sugar on top of blueberries.
6. Layer with 1/2 pat of butter.
7. Mound more blueberries on top.
8. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon.
9. Place stuffed apples on glass baking dish and put a couple spoonfuls of water on bottom of dish.
10. Bake for approximately 35 minutes or until fork soft.
11. Serve whole or cut half way down into a fanning presentation.
12. Substitute margarine for low-fat option.
