Diabetic Diet: Vegetarian/Desserts, Bakes Apples with Raisins

In this day and age with so much information available on the Internet in regards to cooking and recipes, it seems as if everything is always a bit more complicated and “flashy” than it should necessarily be. Not that this is a bad thing, but this recipe right here is a perfect example of how something so simple and easy can be so incredibly delicious as well.

Prep time: 20-25 minutes

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

-          Two apples

-          One tablespoon of raisins

-          Orange juice

-          A pinch of ground cinnamon

-          Optional: Low-fat, sugar-free vanilla ice cream

Directions:

1. Peel and core the apples.
2. Coat with orange juice on the outer surface and stuff with raisins.
3. Sprinkle on the cinnamon.
4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
5. Place the apples in Pyrex baking cups and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a fork pierces the surface easily.
6. Serve them warm (optional: with low-fat, sugar-free vanilla ice cream) or cold — they’re equally delicious either way!
7. Enjoy!
