mmmm...apples!

Baked Apples
Ingredients:
1/3 cup raisins
3 Tbsp. chopped almonds (or walnuts)
1 Tbsp. wheat germ
1 Tbsp. firmly packed brown sugar (or Splenda substitute)
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
6 small unpeeled, washed Golden Delicious apples, about 1.75 pounds total weight
1/2 cup apple juice
1/4 cup water
2 Tbsp. dark honey
2 tsp. canola oil

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, toss together the dry ingredients: raisins, chopped nuts, wheat germ, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Core each apple, stopping 3/4 inch from the bottom. Divide the raisin mixture evenly among the apples, pressing the mixture gently into each cavity.

Arrange the apples upright in a heavy ovenproof frying pan or small baking dish just large enough to hold them. Pour the apple juice and water into the pan. Drizzle the honey and oil evenly over the apples, and cover the pan snugly with aluminum foil.

Bake until the apples are tender when pierced with a knife, 50 to 60 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with pan juices drizzled over apples. Makes six servings.
