Baked Apples

This is the perfect light dessert for winter days.  Delicious as is, topped with granola, or with a scoop of organic vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients:

4 Granny Smith apples
¼ cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons Sucanat or organic sugar
¼ cup raisins (optional)
Cinnamon for sprinkling

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325F.  In a bowl, combine the raisins, pecans, sugar and cinnamon.  Wash and core each apple and place in a baking dish.  Divide the brown sugar/raising mixture into four parts and fill each apple with the mixture.  Bake approximately 40 minutes or until tender.
