NUTELLA® Crunch Baked Apples
Ingredients
- 4 Ida Red, Spartan or Granny Smith apples
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) Nutella® Hazelnut Spread
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) low fat muesli or granola
Directions
1. Core each apple, leaving the bottom intact; scoop out all the seeds and discard. Peel a strip of skin from around the top of each apple. Sprinkle a quarter of the cinnamon over the bottom of each of four glass baking or dessert dishes. Place the apples in the baking dishes, cut side up. Microwave each apple individually on 50% power for 90 seconds (for a medium apple) or up to 2 minutes (for a large apple).
2. Meanwhile, blend the Nutella® with the muesli or granola. Divide the mixture evenly between the cavities in each par-cooked apple.
3. Microwave each stuffed apple on 50% power for about 30 seconds longer or until the apples are fork tender and bottom of the dish is saucy. Let stand for 2 minutes before serving. Makes 4 servings
Tips:
- Serve with low fat cottage cheese, vanilla yogurt or a glass of soy milk to round out your breakfast.
- Prepare the apples up to the point of cooking them for the second time the night before. Cover and refrigerate so that apples can be very quickly finished and eaten in the morning.
