Baked Apples with Yogurt

Baked apples are a splendid example of “nursery food,” and children as well as adults deserve this sort of comfort on a regular basis. To ease preparation, you need a very sharp, short knife for coring the apples.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    6 servings

Ingredients

6 medium sweet cooking apples, such as Cortland
1/3 cup natural granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts, optional
1 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt or soy yogurt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

    Step 2

    Core the apples carefully with a small sharp knife, and place them in a baking pan.

    Step 3

    Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon and optional walnuts in a small bowl and stir together. Divide the mixture among the hollows of each apple.

    Step 4

    Fill the baking pan with about 1/2 inch of water. Cover with foil and bake until the apples are tender, about 45 minutes. Allow the apples to cool until just warm, fill the hollows with a little yogurt, and serve.
