Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized apple (e.g., Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 0.5 cups nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoons chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds, optional)
- 1 tablespoons raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the apple. Using a knife or apple corer, remove the core, creating a cavity in the center without cutting through the bottom of the apple.
Step 2
Place the apple upright on a microwave-safe plate or bowl.
Step 3
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon into the apple cavity and over the surface of the apple.
Step 4
If desired, drizzle the honey or maple syrup into the cavity for added sweetness.
Step 5
Microwave the apple on high for 2-3 minutes, depending on the size and type of apple, until it is fork-tender. Check after 2 minutes to avoid overcooking.
Step 6
Carefully remove the hot apple from the microwave and let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Top the baked apple with nonfat plain Greek yogurt and garnish with chopped nuts and/or dried fruit if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy this quick and healthy treat!
