Ingredients
Serves 4
| Quantity | Ingredient | Add |
|---|---|---|
| 4 apples, halved, cored | ||
| 2 lemons, halved | ||
| 4 tbsp. Hy-Vee butter | ||
| 1 c. low-fat granola | ||
| ½ c. chopped Hy-Vee pecans | ||
| ½ c. Hy-Vee dried cranberries | ||
| ½ c. golden raisins | ||
| ⅓ c. light corn syrup | ||
| ⅓ c. packed Hy-Vee brown sugar | ||
| Pinch Hy-Vee salt | ||
| Purchased caramel sauce |
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Place apples cut-side-up on prepared baking sheet. Squeeze lemon juice over the cut side of each apple to prevent browning. Bake for 20 to 40 minutes or until slightly soft but still a bit crisp (exact time will depend on size of the apples).
- Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, melt butter. Add granola, pecans, cranberries, raisins, corn syrup, brown sugar and salt. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until warmed and golden. To serve, stuff each baked apple half with 2 to 3 tablespoons of warm granola filling. Drizzle with warmed caramel sauce just before serving.
- *As an alternative, apples can be stuffed with granola filling without being roasted.
