Yield 2 baked apples, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 apples (granny smith about 150g each)
2 tablespoons walnuts (finely chopped)
1 tablespoon currants
1 tablespoon brown sugar (or equivalent sugar substitute)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon orange zest (finely grated)
2 1/2 tablespoons orange juice (fresh)
90 g vanilla yogurt (diet or no sugar 1/3 cup, to serve)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 170 degree celsius.
  • Using an apple corer or small sharp knife remove only the core from the apples (keeping the apple whole). Cut out a little extra apple until you form a 2cm wide hole.
  • Using a sharp knife, score the apples all the way around the middle in a circular motion.
  • Place the apples in an ovenproof dish, just large enough to hold them.
  • In a small bowl, combine the walnuts, currants, sugar (or substitute), cinnamon and orange zest; add 1 tablespoon of the orange juice and stir to combine.
  • Evenly divide the filling between the apple holes, then spoon the remaining juice over the apples.
  • Cover the dish with baking paper, then cover with foil.
  • Cook for 30 - 40 minutes, or until the apples a very tender.
  • Remove and discard foil and baking paper.
  • Serve warm with the diet vanilla yoghurt.
