Baked Apples

This post is a touch overdue since the snow has been flying for the past few weeks, but this is an amazing fall recipe. Truthfully, this is great any season as long as you have some apples sitting around! This recipe is from Gina's Weight Watchers Recipes, which is an amazingly awesome website that lightens up while still maintaining all the great flavor.

Baked apples are fantastic dessert treats since they get a fruit serving in for the day, and they fulfill that need to have a little something sweet and warm at the end of supper.

Soft tender apples are paired with a delicious sweet crumble filling. Serve it up along with some vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
