Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Dry roast the sliced almonds in a heavy pan just until they begin to color. Set aside in a bowl.
Place the apples in a baking dish just big enough to hold them. Stuff them with the dried fruit. Drizzle them with the maple syrup making sure that it gets into the hollowed out core, and then put a nut of butter on top of each one. Add the water to the bottom of the dish.
With a sharp knife, cut a slit in the skin all the way around the waist of each cored apple. This will allow them to expand as they cook.
Serve sprinkled with the toasted almonds and with thick yogurt or ice cream on the side.

Chef Tips

I don’t believe in substitutions in desserts. I’d rather eat less of something really good. It’s a little bit of what you fancy that does you good, not a lot.
