Baked Apple With Pear and Almond Filling

Ingredients

* 1 large apple, halved and cored
* 2 teaspoons reduced-fat cream cheese, divided
* 1 small pear, cored and diced very small
* 1/2 teaspoon light brown sugar
* 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 2 tablespoons chopped almonds, divided
* 3 tablespoons water or apple juice

Preparation

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, making room for the filling. (You can eat the apple flesh if you like — no need to reserve.) Dab 1 teaspoon cream cheese in the cavity of each half.


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

Makes 2 servings.
