Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large crisp apples (such as Braeburn, Gala or Fuji)
2 tablespoons raisins or sweetened dried cranberries
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
4 teaspoons butter or margarine, softened
4 Nature Valley™ crunchy granola bars (2 pouches from 8.9-oz box) (any flavor), crushed
Milk, cream or fruit-flavored yogurt, if desired

Steps:

  • Cut apples in half lengthwise. Using spoon, remove and discard cores, making at least a 1-inch indentation in each apple half. In microwavable pie plate, arrange apple halves, cut sides up. If needed, cut thin slice off bottoms to keep halves from tipping.
  • Fill each apple half evenly with raisins and brown sugar; dot with butter. Cover with microwavable plastic wrap, folding back one edge 1/4 inch to vent steam.
  • Microwave on High 5 to 6 minutes or until apples are tender. Top each with granola. Serve with milk.

The recipe was easy to follow, but I think I would have preferred to bake the apples in the oven instead of the microwave.

The microwave cooking method is so convenient. I don't have to heat up my oven, which is a big plus in the summer.
