Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large Apples (e.g., Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- 120 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Optional: Stevia or Low-Calorie Sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Chopped Walnuts or Pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the apples thoroughly. Slice the tops off each apple and use a spoon or corer to remove the core, leaving the bottom intact to create a hollow cavity.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, water, and unsweetened applesauce. If desired, add stevia or your preferred low-calorie sweetener.
Place the apples in a small, oven-safe baking dish. Spoon the mixture into each apple cavity until filled. Pour any remaining mixture around the apples in the baking dish.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to trap moisture and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender but not mushy.
Remove the foil and sprinkle with optional chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture and flavor, if desired. Bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as is or with a dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt for added creaminess, if preferred.
