APPLE****Savoury Baked Apples - 4 Points

By Unblond1

I liked these very much - Dan just picked at his - they were tough to cut though, try using apple slices instead.

Ingredients

• 1 slice of bacon, sliced
• 1 tsp. EVOO
• 1 small garlic clove, finely chopped

Preparation

Step 1

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the onion and bacon in the oil. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the breadcrumbs and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

On a cutting board, cut the apples in half horizontally. Using a melon baller, remove the core. Place the apples cut side up on a baking dish. Alternately, cut the apples into thick slices and core them.

Cover the apples with the onion and bacon mixture. Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350° to 400°until the apples are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle with the cheese. Broil until the cheese begins to brown.
