Chef Meg’s Nutty Baked Apples with Raisins (Diabetic Friendly)
Submitted by: CHEF_MEG
Introduction
What a sweet warm treat for a cold afternoon! This dish is like having a piece of apple pie but without the large amount of fat and carbs from the dough. The oats inside will trick your mind into thinking that you did just eat pie!
Ingredients
- 4 small tart apples, such as Granny Smith, washed and cored
- Filling:
- 1 tablespoon Smart Balance butter blend, softened
- 1 tablespoon pecans, toasted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- 1 tablespoon old-fashioned oats
- 1 tablespoon
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
Combine raisins in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of warm water and allow to rest for 10 minutes. (This is an important step! If you skip this step, the raisins will burn in the oven.)
Combine all ingredients for the filling in a bowl. Divide the filling evenly among the apples.
Pour 1/2 cup water into the bottom of the baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before eating.
