Good-For-You Baked Apples

Baked apples are so delicious. This healthy version makes a great dessert or snack.

Ingredients:

• 4 small apples, washed and cored
• 1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. raisins
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. brown sugar
• 1/2 cup apple juice

Directions:

Remove pieces of apple from the bottoms so they will stand straight. Peel a strip of apple skin one-third down around apple to keep apples from bursting. Place apples in 10 inch round pie dish. Mix together raisins, cinnamon, brown sugar and apple juice. Put 1/4 of mixture into each apple core. Cover with wax paper, tucking edges of paper under dish. Microwave on high power 6 to 10 minutes or until apples are tender. Let stand 2 to 3 minutes before serving. Serves 4.
