Ingredients
- 4 McIntosh apples
- 1/2 lemon
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 3/4 cup whole-grain cereal with dried fruit (recommended: Mueslix)
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
Directions
Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Trim the tops and scoop out the center and the seeds of each apple and rub the edges of the trimmed fruit with the lemon. In a medium bowl, combine the butter, cereal, sugar, and walnuts. Fill the apples with the cereal mixture. Set the apples upright in muffin tins and bake until tender and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Transfer to serving dishes, top with ice cream and serve hot.

I love these. Everytime I make them there are never any left! I have a friend who has Diabetes and He will even eat these. We top them with a bit of cool whip and eat them like they were apple cobbler! We don't add the cerial with dryed fruit jus tthe sugar and walnuts. Still a hit!

This is a really simple dessert to make and it's healthier than a lot of other baked apple recipes out there. I did not have the lemon juice and felt that the apples color still came out nice and they didn't burn. I used pecans instead of walnuts.

While doing my Thanksgiving shopping, I recalled the few items in this recipe and thought I'd go for it. I couldn't remember the name of the cereal, so I used Special K with the fruit in it. Thanksgiving came, and I whipped these up in no time, letting the kids fill the apples with the mixture. I didn't have muffin tins, so I used the bottom side of a muffin pan. It kept the apples in place while stuffing and baking. End result, they were absolutely delicious! Warm with the icecream tasted like apple pie, and the crunch mixture inside was what my seven year old daughter said reminded her of a carmel apple. I know for certain these will be made again. Easy to make with superb taste and texture. Yum!
