Ingredients

  • Baked apples

    • 4 Granny Smith or Gala apples (with or without skin)

    • 1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice or apple cider 

    • 1/4 cup brown sugar 

    • 2 tablespoons cornstarch 

    • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 

    • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 

    • 1/4 teaspoon salt 

     

  • Cinnamon yogurt topping

    • 2 1/2 cups low-fat plain yogurt 

    • 1 tablespoon honey 

    • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 

     
 

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350�F. Spray an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

  • Core and thinly slice the apples. Place the apples in a medium bowl and toss with apple juice. Mix the brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the apples and stir gently until the apples are coated.

  • Pour the apples into the prepared baking dish. Bake 40 minutes or until the apples are slightly browned at the edges and the sauce is bubbling.

  • For the cinnamon yogurt topping: Line a colander with several paper towels and place over a bowl to catch the drips. Pour the yogurt into the colander and allow to drain, refrigerated, about 30 minutes. Spoon the yogurt into a small bowl and stir in the honey and cinnamon.

  • For each serving, top 1/4 of the warm apples with 1/4 of the yogurt topping.
