Easy Baked Apples

Nothing says fall quite like warm, spiced baked apples. Packed with fiber and vitamin C, apples can help you feel full for longer, which is helpful for weight control. Sprinkled with walnuts and raisins, this recipe also contains beneficial omega-3 fat and cancer-protective flavonoids and phenolic acids. Bake in the evening for an aromatic dessert or save in the fridge for a beautiful weekend brunch.

Baked Apples  

Ingredients:

  • Canola oil cooking spray
  • 3 large Granny Smith apples or any variety baking apple
  • 3 Tbsp. whole-wheat flour
  • 3 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 3/4-1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/3 cup apple cider

Makes 6 servings.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 60 minutes


Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray oven-proof glass pie dish.
