Thumbs up for a healthy, boldly spiced treat! On the note of the spices, it certainly took the maple-yoghurt sauce to take the edge off that quantity of cinnamon, but the overall effect had the nuanced qualities of a top rate restaurant. Some of my brown sugar topping didn't carmalize -- next time I would drop a few drops of water on top. And presoaking the raisins (in brandy?) would prevent the hardening/burning of exposed raisins (and take the whole thing up _another_ notch!). Thanks a lot! -
Loved this! So easy and the Maple Yogurt Sauce was Awesome! Made it yesterday to use some Gala Apples that were not going to last much longer. Quartered the apples,tossed them with Splenda brown sugar, the raisins and spice mixture and baked according to directions. Great recipe! Thanks for posting!

It's a big city now, with all the big city advantages and disadvantages. I miss the small town feel but love the restaurant choices and the people friendly improvements.
My writing is mainly non fiction on historical bits, and I have brief and so far unsuccessful forays into historical fiction. Someday.....
I don't think I'm a great cook but I'm the kind of cook who can walk into the kitchen and find good things in the fridge and pantry and make it into a meal that everyone thinks is pretty darn good. Sometimes I use a recipe and sometimes...not so much.
I have a great collection of cookbooks, and I love reading them and studying the pictures. Sometimes I even cook the recipes, LOL! And that is why I love Zaar, an unending source of recipes and pictures. It's heaven!
