Dessert lovers are increasingly thinking about how to reduce the number of calories, but not lose the opportunity to eat sweets. A simple baked apple recipe will help you with this.
It is necessary
-
- apples;
- honey;
- nuts;
- raisins;
- cinnamon;
- cottage cheese;
- egg;
- sugar.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare your apples. Almost any kind of apple is suitable for this dish. Try to purchase large-sized Russian fruits (white or red) grown in your area. Wash them in cool water, dry thoroughly with paper towels. Then cut the core out of each apple without cutting through it all the way: leave about a centimeter below to hold the future filling. Use a fork to make shallow punctures over the entire surface of the fruit (this will keep the apples intact when baked and prevent them from exploding).
Step 2
Take care of the stuffing. The easiest recipe for baked apples is to pour honey into the depression and send it to the oven. But it can be diversified. For example, chop nuts (hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds) with a knife, soak raisins in cold water for half an hour. Combine honey, nuts and raisins in a bowl, add cinnamon and season with apples.
Step 3
Make baked apples with cottage cheese. Mix it with one teaspoon of granulated sugar, egg and cinnamon. At the end, you can add honey. Apples for such a filling need to be prepared in a special way: cut off the top like a lid, remove the core, leaving the pulp below. Fill the fruit with the filling and cover with the cut top.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to two hundred degrees. Place the apples on a baking sheet and bake for fifteen minutes. The dish is ready when the apple is easily pierced with a toothpick. Take it out and let stand for a few minutes to cool slightly.
