Wait until you smell the aroma of baked apples wafting through the house! Baked apples were popular during the Great Depression era as they were inexpensive, healthy and oh-so-good!

Ingredients:
2 medium apples
1/2 cup of apple juice
2 tablespoons of snipped, pitted whole dates
1 tablespoon of raspberry spreadable fruit
1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/4 cup of low-fat granola cereal

Directions:
Chop the apples into bite-sized pieces, then combine the apple pieces and dates in two individual casseroles and sprinkle the cinnamon over them.

Pour half the apple juice over each apple mixture.

Bake, covered, in at 350 degree oven about twenty minutes or until the apples are slightly tender.

Stir spreadable fruit and dollop on top of the apple mixture.

Sprinkle with granola and serve warm.

Recipe yields two servings.
