“Baked Apples Stuffed with KIND Healthy Grains Clusters”

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time45 minutes
Total Time1 hour

Ingredients

  • 4 large honey crisp apples
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups KIND Healthy Grains Peanut Butter Clusters
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Slice the bottom 1/4-inch from the apples so that it sits evenly and cooks thorough. Using a paring knife, carefully cut a circle around the stem and cut about an inch downward to open up the top. From there, use the same knife or a spoon, to remove the core and the seeds.
  • In a bowl combine the butter, cinnamon, cardamom, sea salt and black pepper and microwave on high for 45 seconds, or until the butter is just melted. Stir with a spoon to combine thoroughly.
  • Set the apples in a cast iron skillet or baking dish. Drizzle each one with the melted butter mixture, distributing it evenly.
  • Stuff each apple with the KIND Healthy Grains Peanut Butter Clusters, distributing it evenly into each apple.
  • Sprinkle the outer skin of each apple with the olive oil, letting it drip to the bottom and onto the skillet.
  • Drizzle the apple cider vinegar evenly over each apple as well. Then add 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of your skillet.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes. This will depend on the exact size of your apples (if using small/medium apples, start by baking for 30 minutes).
  • Once the skin has wrinkled and the apple is slightly darker in color and fork tender, remove from the oven. If you want a more caramelized apple, cook for a bit longer. Serve immediately with whipped cream on top.
