Products and services By Mayo Clinic Staff
Dietitian's tip:
Any good baking apple,
such as Golden
Delicious, Rome or
Granny Smith, holds its
shape beautifully for this
dish.

Ingredients
1/3 cup dried cherries, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons chopped almonds
1 tablespoon wheat germ
1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 small Golden Delicious apples, about 1 3/4 pounds total
weight
1/2 cup apple juice
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons dark honey
2 teaspoons walnut oil or canola oil
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
In a small bowl, toss together the cherries, almonds, wheat germ,
brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg until all the ingredients are
evenly distributed. Set aside.
The apples can be left unpeeled, if you like. To peel the apples in
a decorative fashion, with a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife,
remove the peel from each apple in a circular motion, skipping
every other row so that rows of peel alternate with rows of apple
ck
flesh. Working from the stem end, core each apple, stopping 3/4
ba
ed
inch from the bottom.

Divide the cherry mixture evenly among the apples, pressing the

mixture gently into each cavity. Arrange the apples upright in a
heavy ovenproof frying pan or small baking dish just large enough
to hold them. Pour the apple juice and water into the pan. Drizzle
the honey and oil evenly over the apples, and cover the pan
snugly with aluminum foil. Bake until the apples are tender when
pierced with a knife, 50 to 60 minutes.
Transfer the apples to individual plates and drizzle with the pan
juices. Serve warm or at room temperature.
