Recipe(tried): Caramel Baked Apples

CARAMEL BAKED APPLES (FOR 8)

We cut these into 4-6 wedges just before drizzling the caramel sauce. 1 apple is more than enough to feed 2 people!

2 Tbsp chopped dates
2 Tbsp raisins
2 Tbsp coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts
2 Tbsp packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
4 large Granny Smith Apples
2 tsp cold butter cut into small pieces
4 Tbsp fat free caramel sauce (from a jar)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 

Pour 1/4 cup water in 8-inch square dish. 

Toss together first six ingredients. 

Core each apple leaving bottom intact. Peel a strip away from the top portion of each apple. Stand them in baking dish. Stuff with mixture and dot filling with butter. 

Cover with a aluminum foil tent and bake about 40 minutes basting occasionally with juices. 

Uncover and bake 15 minutes longer. 

Serve warm and drizzle with caramel sauce. Great as a side dish or as a dessert with ice cream.
