These make a fabulous Christmas morning treat to go along with an egg white fritatta or they make a delicious, healthy and festive Christmas dessert. I use rich and creamy Greek yogurt from Voskos (available in most grocery stores). Originally from Southern Living magazine.
Ingredients:
4 large Golden Delicious or Jonagold apples
4.5-oz. lowfat granola
1/4 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 3/4 cups apple cider
1/3 cup cherry preserves
1 (8-oz.) container Voskos Greek yogurt
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°. Cut apples in half, cutting through stem and bottom ends. Scoop out core and pulp, leaving a 3/4-inch shell. Cut about 1/4 inch from opposite side of apple, forming a flat base.
2. Stir together lowfat granola and next 3 ingredients. Spoon mixture into apple shells, pressing to gently pack. Arrange apples in a 13- x 9-inch pan. Pour cider around apples in pan.
3. Bake at 375° for 25 to 45 minutes or until apples are tender, basting twice with pan juices.
4. Place apples on a serving plate. Add preserves to pan juices, and cook, over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, 5 to 6 minutes or until thickened. Serve apples with warm sauce and Voskos Greek yogurt.
Note: Baking times will vary greatly due to the ripeness of your fruit. Begin testing for doneness by inserting a wooden pick directly into the fruit (not granola mixture) after 25 minutes of baking. A wooden pick should be able to pierce the fruit easily with just a little resistance. Overcooking will lead to the fruit losing its natural shape and becoming mushy.
