Cinnamon Baked Apples
"Quick and easy baked apples are an old-fashioned comfort food. They can be made in the microwave, or baked in the oven. I often make them a little less sweet by using brown rice syrup instead of the honey. Maple syrup is a good alternative as well."

A sweet alternative to the baked apples, the apples are then mixed with cinnamon to serve as a dessert. -
Delicious, and easy to make. I didn't have any rum or any time to soak the raisins. I just poured a little boiling water on them . Turned out great. Thank you for posting. -
Nice recipe. Instead of honey used brown sugar. -
Delicious! I have been craving baked apples. My husband had never had them. I didn't have raisins or rum, so just used dates. Didn't have ice cream either, but used fresh cream :) -
This was marvelous! My hubby and I had surprise guests after church, so we went to Zaar and found this wonderful recipe. We used dried cranberries instead of the raisins. It came together quickly and beautifully and drew rave reviews from our guests! We have added this to our Thanksgiving dessert list - which is perfect for our family who need gluten-free foods.

My family enjoyed this recipe. It is quick in the microwave and very tasty. I used prunes instead of raisins and 100% maple syrup in place of honey. I like the fact that it is naturally sweet and processed sugar is not necessary. Great for breakfast as well as desert.

I love to garden, both perennials and vegetables. I am always looking for recipes to fiddle with, especially good simple vegetable dishes. I try to use organic ingredients as much as possible.
