Guilt Free Baked Apples For 2 Recipes

Steps:

• For the apple pie spice: Mix together the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cardamom if using in a small bowl.
• For the apples: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the apple halves core-side down on a flat surface. Before slicing, place chopsticks or wooden spoons on either side of them to make sure you don't cut all the way through. Slice almost all the way to the bottom of each apple half at 1/4-inch intervals, then place them on a sheet pan.
• Mix 1 tablespoon of the butter, 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of the apple pie spice and the orange juice in a pitcher. Drizzle over the apples, making sure they are well coated and the drizzle goes into the slits. Bake until they are just starting to get tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the oats, almonds, salt, remaining melted butter, remaining brown sugar, orange zest and remaining apple pie spice. Sprinkle the oat mixture over the apples, making sure to get some between the slices without breaking the apples. Bake until the topping is slightly crisp and golden, another 10 minutes. Drizzle with honey and serve with ice cream.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 2 (10-oz) ovenproof ramekins with cooking spray.
• In medium bowl, mix all Topping ingredients except butter. With fork, mix in melted butter until crumbly; reserve.
• In another medium bowl, mix Filling ingredients. Divide filling evenly between ramekins. Top each with half of the topping, mounding the topping (it will settle during baking).
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• 1. Cut apple into 8 or 12 slices (like quarters).
• 2. Place apple slices in a sandwich bag.
• 3. Sprinkle 1 packet of Stevia (or Truvia, based on preference) into bag over apple slices.
• 4. Coat slices with ground cinnamon (not cinnamon sugar).
• 5. Shake bag contents until slices are coated.
• 6. Remove and place slices on microwave safe dish and put in the microwave for 2-3 mins.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Cut the top and bottom off of apples and core - pour lemon juice over apples.
• In a bowl mix oatmeal, egg white, cinnamon and honey.
• Place the stuffed apples on a baking sheet and cover with foil.
• Bake for about 40 mins until tender.
• Remove from the oven and top with vanilla yogurt.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Scoop out the core from top of the apple, leaving a well. Do not cut all the way through. Stuff each apple with 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1 tablespoon butter. Place in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle with cinnamon.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, until sugar begins to caramelize and apples are tender.
