Recipe

Baked Apples with Yogurt and Walnuts

Adapted from the Joslin Diabetes Quick & Easy Cookbook (Fireside/Simon & Schuster)

(makes 6 servings)

6 medium tart apples, such as Gala, Granny Smith, or Jonathan, cored and peeled 1/3 of the way down

3 4-inch (10 cm) strips of orange rind, cut into thin strips

3 teaspoons (13 g) reduced-fat margarine

juice of 1 large lemon

about 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground cinnamon

1 1/2 teaspoons (7.5 ml) spoonable brown sugar substitute

6 tablespoons (84 g) plain nonfat yogurt

1 tablespoon (8 g) chopped walnuts

Place the cored and partially peeled apples in a high-sided microwave-safe dish. Stuff the apples with orange rind strips and top each with 1/2 teaspoon margarine. Rub the pared flesh of the apple with lemon juice. Sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar substitute.
Fill the dish with water 1/3 of the way up the sides of the apples. Cover with plastic wrap and cook in the microwave for 4 to 5 minutes on HIGH.
Carefully remove the plastic wrap. Place the apples in individual serving bowls. Top each with 1 tablespoon (14 g) yogurt and sprinkle with some of the walnuts. Serve hot.
