Microwave Baked Stuffed Apples

Points plan 2½ per serving

Core 2 pts per serving

Servings: 4

2 medium cooking apples
3 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 heaped tablespoon raisins
15 g walnut halves, chopped
1 level tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
4 tablespoon natural low-fat yogurt, to serve (optional)

Halve the apples horizontally, then partially core them to create a small cavity. If necessary cut a thin slice from the bottom of each apple half so they stand upright. Place the halves, core-side up, in a microwaveable shallow dish. Mix together 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar, the raisins, walnuts, honey and cinnamon. Spoon into the cavities and sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar.

Add 2 tbsp water to the dish and cover with clingwrap, piercing several holes to let the steam out. Microwave on High for 3.5 minutes or until the apples are tender. Carefully remove the plastic wrap and place the apples on 4 serving plates.

Microwave the juices on High for 30 seconds until syrupy. Spoon over the apples and serve warm with the yogurt if using.
