Baked Apples with Granola
This recipe for Baked Apples with Granola bakes one of my kids’ favorite Fall fruits and topping it with granola, with a little butter and brown sugar. Adding in some cinnamon and nutmeg brings back those classic apple pie flavor but without the crust and baking in a lot less time. Adding the crunchy granola gives this healthy treat a nice play on textures – but don’t forget to top it off with some French vanilla ice cream to make it a complete dessert!
