Baked apples with cinnamon yogurt topping

Recipe Information

Ingredients

• Baked apples

  • 4 Granny Smith or Gala apples (with or without skin)

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice or apple cider

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

• Cinnamon yogurt topping

  • 2 1/2 cups low-fat plain yogurt

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

• Core and thinly slice the apples. Place the apples in a medium bowl and toss with apple juice. Mix the brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the apples and stir gently until the apples are coated.

• Pour the apples into the prepared baking dish. Bake 40 minutes or until the apples are slightly browned at the edges and the sauce is bubbling.

• For the cinnamon yogurt topping: Line a colander with several paper towels and place over a bowl to catch the drips. Pour the yogurt into the colander and allow to drain, refrigerated, about 30 minutes. Spoon the yogurt into a small bowl and stir in the honey and cinnamon.

• For each serving, top 1/4 of the warm apples with 1/4 of the yogurt topping.
