Ingredients

• 1 large apple(s), halved and cored
• 2 teaspoon cream cheese, reduced-fat
• 1 small pear(s), cored and diced very small
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar, brown, light
• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
• 2 tablespoon nuts, almonds, chopped, divided
• 3 tablespoon water, may use apple juice

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Slice apple in half. Use a spoon or small ice cream scoop to scoop out some apple flesh from each half, leaving some room for filling. (You can just eat the apple flesh; no need to reserve.) Dab cream cheese in the cavity of each half.

Dice pear. Toss pear with brown sugar and cinnamon; fill each apple half with diced pear, reserving extra for another use. Sprinkle pear filling with almonds, pressing down to make them adhere. Place apple halves in a baking dish and add water or apple juice. Cover and bake for 30 minutes, then baste with juices and bake uncovered for 10 minutes or until almonds are roasted.
