  • 1 tablespoon granulated erythritol
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Core 4 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) from the top, leaving the bottom intact to create a cup.
  3. Use a spoon to widen the cavity slightly.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together ½ cup of dried cherries (no sugar added), ¼ cup of chopped walnuts, 1 tablespoon of erythritol, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
  5. Stuff each apple cavity with the cherry-walnut mixture, packing it in gently.
  6. Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish.
  7. Drizzle each apple with ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  8. Add ¼ cup of water to the bottom of the baking dish.
  9. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the apples are tender and the cherries are plump.
  11. Spoon the pan juices over the apples once or twice during the final baking time.
  12. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  13. Serve with optional plain Greek yogurt.
  14. Drizzle with the syrup from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.
