ingredients

1 large apple
2 teaspoons reduced-fat cream cheese
1 small pear
¹⁄₂ teaspoon brown sugar
¹⁄₈ teaspoon cinnamon, ground
2 tablespoons almonds, chopped
3 tablespoons water

directions

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, leaving some room for filling. (You can just eat the apple flesh; no need to reserve.) Dab cream cheese in the cavity of each half.
Dice pear. Toss pear with brown sugar and cinnamon; fill each apple half with diced pear, reserving extra for another use. Sprinkle pear filling with almonds, pressing down to make them adhere. Place apple halves in a baking dish and add water or apple juice. Cover and bake for 30 minutes, then baste with juices and bake uncovered for 10 minutes or until almonds are roasted.
