I adopted this recipe from the RecipeZaar account in Feb. 2005, and made it for the first time in August 2006. I left out the dates, because I don't really enjoy them, and the lemon juice b/c I forgot it, and these turned out flavorful and just delicious. I scaled the recipe down to two apples easily, and when I served them, I drizzled them with the sauce that collects in the bottom of the pan. A great, low-calorie treat. :) Ingredients:
6 apples (apples should be peeled if desired, but in all cases, cored.) |
1/3 cup granola-type cereal |
1/3 cup dates, pitted |
1/4 cup almonds or 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |
6 tablespoons honey, divided |
3 tablespoons butter, melted or 3 tablespoons margarine |
3/4 cup apple juice or 3/4 cup water |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350*. Place the apples in a 9-inch square baking pan.
2. In a bowl, combine the cereal, dates, almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice and 3 Tbsp of honey.
3. Spoon equal amounts of the filling into each apple, packing it lightly.
4. Stir together the melted butter, the remaining 3 Tbsp of honey, and apple juice.
5. Pour over the apples.
6. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
7. Uncover and continue to bake, basting often with the pan juices until tender when pierced, about 35 more minutes.
8. Serve warm.
