Ingredients

    4 small tart apples, such as Granny Smith, washed and cored

    Filling:
    1 tablespoon Smart Balance butter blend, softened
    1 tablespoon pecans, toasted and chopped
    2 tablespoons raisins
    1 tablespoon old-fashioned oats
    1 tablespoon brown sugar
    1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the apples in a baking dish.

Combine raisins in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of warm water and allow to rest for 10 minutes. (This is an important step! If you skip this step, the raisins will burn in the oven.)

Combine all ingredients for the filling in a bowl. Divide the filling evenly among the apples.

Pour 1/2 cup water into the bottom of the baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before eating.

    Very tasty breakfast or dessert. I cut down the recipe to make 1 apple. Microwaved in a ramekin for 3 - 4 minutes. Very quick and easy - 4/1/11

    I make these in the microwave. I use a sweeter apple Gala, fugi or honeycrisp. No sugar is needed. Cinnamon, cardamon or nutmeg works. I have used oatbran in the mix and leave out the nuts to eat as a side. I am diabetic, avoid sugar as much as I can sometimes I chop the raisins. No BS spikes for me - 11/20/11

    You can get the same result and have it for breakfast if you use a sweeter apple. Just core and wash the apple,stuff with raisins nuts and sprinkle with cinnamon microwave till soft. Yummy - 3/30/11

    Made just as directed. I think I would take some of the peel off the top of the apple. Mine required more baking time as they were a bit crunchy. Made for company and everyone enjoyed them, especially the 2 diabetics! - 4/3/11
