Apple Pie Stuffed Apples

Another yummy recipe found on MFP, posted here. The original recipe uses graham crackers, and is enough for 1 apple (might be good if making it only for you). It looked yummy, so I gave it a try, just changed it around a bit.

Weight Watchers Points: 4


Ingredients: (Makes 6 Apples)
6 apples (mine were about 160 grams each)

Mix:
1/2 cup of Kashi GoLean Original crushed up
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/2 Tbsp Nutmeg
6 tsp brown sugar
1 TBSP splenda

Topping:
1 cup of Kashi GoLean Original crushed up
1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
2 TBSP whipped butter (or margarine etc)
1/2 TBSP Honey
I can't believe its not butter spray

*Try to get apples roughly the same size that way they cook evenly*
**Crush Cereal by placing in a bag and smashing with hand, or rolling pin etc...or use a food processor. You will get a finer crust if you use a food processor**

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking pan with nonstick spray.

Slice off the top of the apple, about 1/2 inch. Carefully hollow out most of the inside flesh with a spoon (keep this), leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh on the skin. Discard seeds and core.


Chop the scooped-out flesh and place in a bowl, including parts of the tops that were cut off. Add brown sugar, Splenda, cinnamon, nutmeg and Kashi Cereal and stir to coat. Place mixture in the hollow apple, and pack down lightly with the back of a spoon. (Do not press to hard or you will rip your apple)



Place apples in the baking pan. Cover pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine all topping ingredients. Stir/mash until well mixed and crumbly. The butter spray is to help the crust stick together more if you need a little "extra" help.

Remove foil. Press topping onto apples until each apple is evenly coated.

Bake, uncovered, until topping has lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Let cool for 10-15 minutes and Enjoy!
