Sweet Apple Dessert
Children enjoy being able to make fancy desserts, especially for their parents. This one tops the list of easy and the kids will feel like they have made something very special with their own two hands. This dessert is not only easy to prepare – it tastes like heaven.
Be sure to use a good crisp cooking apple so it doesn’t turn mushy. Other good cooking apples besides Gala include Fuji or Braeburn. Raisins may also be substituted for the cranberries.
As you can see in the last picture, I put the two apple halves together in one bowl and cut them up into bite-sized pieces.
A dash of cinnamon will make this easy and healthy dessert even tastier!
- 1 Apple (Gala, crisp)
- 1 Tbsp Cranberries (sweet, dried)
- 1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- 2 tsp Margarine
- 1/2 Cup Granola
- Cut the apple in half, cut out the core, scoop out the seeds and place the halves in separate bowls.
- Sprinkle the cranberries evenly over both halves of the apple.
- Sprinkle each apple with brown sugar.
- Place 1 tsp of margarine onto each apple half.
- Cover the bowls with plastic wrap leaving a little of the bowl uncovered so steam can be released.
- Microwave on high for 3 minutes or until the apple is just beginning to soften.
- Sprinkle with the granola before serving.
Be very careful! The apples will be very hot when they come out of the microwave, and can burn your mouth!
