Spiced Baked Apples Recipe
Warm baked apples filled with chopped nuts make a delightful dessert or extra-special breakfast.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
6 Golden Delicious apples
2 tablespoons melted margarine
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Light cream or half-and-half (optional)
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In pie plate or shallow dish, combine sugar, flour, and cinnamon, mixing well. Partially peel and core apples, leaving bottom part of apple peel and cores in place.
Dip apples in melted margarine, then roll in sugar mixture. Place coated apples in shallow baking dish.
Combine walnuts, remaining margarine, and remaining sugar mixture; spoon into centers of apples.
Add water to just cover bottom of baking dish.
Bake 45 minutes or until apples are tender. Serve warm with light cream, if desired.
Recipe makes 6 servings.
Note: Land O' Lakes makes a wonderful Fat Free Half and Half you could use to top your apples and Cool Whipmakes a pretty darned good light and a fat free whipped topping. They also now offer a sugar free Cool Whip!
