Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

2 medium apples about 6 oz (182 g) each, such as Honeycrisp or Gala
4 teaspoons chopped walnuts 10 g
1 teaspoon pure maple syrup 7 g
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons water 30 ml, for the baking dish
1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt 60 g, to serve

Method

Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut each apple in half through the stem. Scoop out the core and seeds with a spoon to make a small well in each half.
Stir together the walnuts, maple syrup, cinnamon and salt. Divide the mixture among the 4 apple halves.
Set the apples cut-side up in an 8-inch (20 cm) baking dish and pour the water around them. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for 10 more minutes, until a knife slides easily into the apple. Serve 2 halves per person with 2 tablespoons of yogurt.

Notes

Firm apples hold their shape better than soft ones. Serve warm, and measure the walnuts and maple syrup, since they carry most of the extra calories. Nutrition values are rough estimates calculated from standard ingredient values and will vary with brands.
