The yummiest thing about being the household cook is making delish desserts that the kids LOVE and aren't that bad for them. I tried something different this past week, and to my surprise (Ok not really, because my kids love fruit and vegetables), they LOVED IT, and wanted more!
Dessert Baked Apples
3 medium ripe apples, peeled and halved
2 Tbsp melted butter
juice and zest of 1 lemon (two if they are small)
1 Tbsp dark Brown sugar
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
cinnamon and fresh whipped cream for garnish
Directions:
1. Peel ( I peel for my kids, but personally I like the skin left on mine), core, and halve the apples. Place in baking dish.
2. Melt the butter and drizzle over the apples.
3. Drizzle the juice over the apples next. Then mix the lemon zest, brown sugar and the pumpkin pie spice together in a small bowl and sprinkle over apples.
4. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
5. Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving or our favorite, top with granola, crasins and vanilla frozen yogurt. :)
Possible substitutes: Sub the brown sugar for honey and mix it in the melted butter before drizzling on the apples.
