Autumn Harvest Baked Apples with Raisins, Walnuts and Cinnamon

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup dark rum, water can be substituted
  • 6 tablespoons raisins
  • 3 tablespoons walnuts, lightly toasted and chopped
  • 6 small golden delicious, ginger crisp or Granny Smith apples
  • 6 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon walnut oil
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 teaspoons walnut oil
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 6 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt, optional, such as Greek yogurt

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F
  2. Soak raisins in rum for about 20 minutes or while you gather together the remaining ingredients and core the apples.
  3. Core, and score apples, and peel the top 1/3. Spread the 1 teaspoon of walnut oil over the bottom of the baking dish and place apples upright in the dish. Sprinkle the peeled area with the lemon juice.
  4. Combine the walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
  5. Drain raisins, reserving the rum. Stuff raisins into the cored apples. Add the walnut mixture. Spoon 1/2 a teaspoon of walnut oil into each cavity, then drizzle with the reserved rum. Add the water to the dish.
  6. Bake, covered, in preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes or until apples are tender, but still retain their shape. Serve apples with any accumulated juice ladled on top, and a dollop of non fat Greek yogurt, if desired.
