Easy Stuffed Apples

Here's a naturally sweet treat that you can indulge in without feeling guilty!

Serves 4

1/2 cup roughly chopped pecans
1/4  cup raisins
1/2 cup muscovado sugar (add more if your apples aren’t too sweet)
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2  teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons warm water
4 Fuji apples

1   In a medium bowl, mix together pecans, raisins, sugar, rolled oats, cinnamon, and water. Set aside. Using a vegetable peeler, peel a small strip around the top of each apple.

2  With an apple corer or melon baller, scoop out the seeds and some of the apple flesh, creating a good-sized hole. Stuff with the pecan-raisin mixture. Place in a microwave-safe dish with sides; pour a little more water over the apples and into the dish. Microwave on high for 5 to 8 minutes (or until the apples change color), stopping halfway to baste the apples with the juices. Transfer to another plate and serve immediately.
