Ingredients in Healthy Baked Apples

I like to use sweet apples in this easy baked apple dessert recipe. This means I won’t need so much sugar to sweeten up my cooked apples.

I used granny smith apples for this baked apple recipe, but any red (or reddish apple) will work. I recommend staying away from green (tart) apples, as you’ll need to add more sugar, and thus more calories to this recipe.

Shopping List for Skinny Baked Apples:

• Apples (sweet apples are best)
• Dried cranberries
• Walnuts 
• Dark brown sugar
• Old-fashioned oatmeal (or gluten-free oats)
• Coconut oil

How to Make Skinny Baked Apples:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
2. Core of the apples partway from the top down, removing the core and seeds but leaving the bottom intact. You can easily do this by using a paring knife to cut a circle around the core, and then scooping the center out with a spoon.
3. Place the cored apples in a baking dish.
4. To a small bowl, combine the cranberries, walnuts. Mix well, and then transfer to the apple centers.
5. In the same small bowl, combine the brown sugar, oatmeal, and coconut oil. Mix well, and then sprinkle over the tops of the apples.
6. Bake for one hour, or until the apples are soft and the top is browned.
7. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
