Raisin Walnut Baked Apples Recipe
Ingredients
| Baking apples | 4 Large | |
| Dark raisins | 2/3 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Walnuts | 1/4 Cup (16 tbs), coarsely chopped | |
| Packed brown sugar | 1/4 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Lemon juice | 2 Tablespoon, squeezed | |
| Ground cinnamon | 1 Teaspoon | |
| 1/2 cup plain lowfat yogurt | ||
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
2. Core each apple from the stem end without cutting through the bottom and hollow out a good-size cavity for the filling. Pare a 1-inch strip of peel from the circumference of each apple to prevent splitting during baking; set aside.
3. In a small bowl stir together the raisins, walnuts, sugar, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and the cinnamon. Divide the filling among the apples, then place them in an 8-inch square baking pan. Pour 3 cups of hot tap water into the pan and bake the apples 1 hour, or until they are very tender; remove them from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
4. Meanwhile, in another small bowl stir together the yogurt and remaining lemon juice.
