  • 8

Ingredients

  • 4 large Golden Delicious or Jonagold apples
  • 3 (1.5 oz.) oat-and-honey granola bars, finely crushed
  • 1/2 c. roasted salted almonds, chopped
  • 1/4 c. finley chopped crystallized ginger
  • 1/4 c. butter, softened
  • 3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 3/4 c. apple cider
  • 1/3 c. cherry preserves
  • 1 (7 oz.) container Greek yogurt

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut apples in half, cutting through stem and bottom ends. Scoop out core and pulp, leaving a 3/4" shell. Cut about 1/4" from opposite side of apple, forming a flat base.

2. Stir together crushed granola bars and next 4 ingredients. Spoon mixture into apple shells, pressing to gently pack. Arrange apples in a 13x9" pan. Pour cider around apples in pan.

3. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-45 minutes or until apples are tender, basting twice with pan juices.

4. Place apples on a serving plate. Add preserves to pan juices, and cook, over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, 5-6 minutes or until thickened. Serve apples with warm sauce and Greek yogurt.
