I made these apples for dessert tonight, and they were just "okay." I used a cereal for the granola part. I think they would be good with craisins, too.
Ingredients:2 large crisp apples (such as Braeburn, Gala or Fuji)
2 tablespoons raisins or sweetened dried cranberries
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
4 teaspoons butter or margarine, softened
4 Nature Valley® crunchy granola bars (2 pouches from 8.9-oz box) (any flavor), crushed
Milk, cream or fruit-flavored yogurt, if desired
Directions:
1. Cut apples in half lengthwise. Using spoon, remove and discard cores, making at least a 1-inch indentation in each apple half. In microwavable pie plate, arrange apple halves, cut sides up. If needed, cut thin slice off bottoms to keep halves from tipping.
2. Fill each apple half evenly with raisins and brown sugar; dot with butter. Cover with microwavable plastic wrap, folding back one edge 1/4 inch to vent steam.
3. Microwave on High 5 to 6 minutes or until apples are tender. Top each with granola. Serve with milk.

This comes at a perfect time since fall baking season is just around the corner! It looks so comforting and delicious!
Maybe putting ice cream on top would help it! It sounds good to me, though...
Illu!
