If you’re like me and have resolved to eat healthier this year, you’re probably focusing on choosing healthier snacks as part of an improved diet, and this baked apples recipe makes healthy snacking easy. It has the essence of apple pie without all of the calories. Delicious and guilt-free!

Baked Apples recipe with plum crumble topping

How are you doing with your New Year’s Resolutions? Sadly, many of us have given up on them already. They’re so easy to make, but so cotton-pickin’ hard to keep. The problem is that we tend to choose lofty goals that are impossible to reach quickly, so we lose our motivation just as quickly. Instead of thinking about losing weight, think about eating healthier – it’s not as intimidating!

One way to improve the quality of your diet is to add the Feel Good Fruit to your favorite snack recipes. It’s an easy fix to help you stick with your healthy eating resolutions this year.

I love Sunsweet® plums and prunes! They’re deliciously tasty and uniquely nutritious, making them the perfect addition to my baked apples recipe.

Sunsweet Plum Amaz!ns

I mixed up a plum crumble topping for the baked apples recipe with Sunsweet Plum Amaz!ns, oatmeal, brown sugar, butter and spices to make a small amount of filling which I spooned into the centers of two cored and halved apples.

I covered them and baked them in a bath of apple juice until they were tender, spooning juice over the tops a few times throughout.

Guys, this is good stuff!

Baked Apples Recipe - Plum Crumble Topping

So, about those plums and prunes… studies suggest the following positive effects from certain nutrients in them:

Bone Health: Prunes may promote healthy bones. Dr. Bahram H. Arjmandi of Florida State University says, “Dried plums (prunes) are the most bone-friendly fruit that I have seen in decades. They are nature’s solution to maintaining good bone health.” Dr. Arjmandi hypothesizes that the many compounds and nutrients contained in prunes, such as vitamin K, potassium, copper and boron, likely work synergistically to have this positive effect. Additional research is currently being conducted to learn more about prunes and bone health.

Potassium: Potassium may help prevent hypertension and stroke and play a role in helping support cell energy by regulating fluid balance, nerve impulses and muscle contraction to increase energy.

Fiber: A diet containing foods with fiber can replace fats and sweets, and contributes to heart health.

Regularity: A fiber rich diet may contribute to maintaining a consistent digestive tract which helps lead to improved digestive health.

    It took me a long time to appreciate the taste of prunes, but I had a handful of them a couple of years ago and I was surprised at how good they were. Perhaps it’s that “stigma” that only old people eat them? But anyone that has decently good sense would be eating them, LOL!

    I want to try the recipe but I’m confused with the directions. When you say “combine remaining ingredients, it would seem like the 1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp. of the apple juice (the very next ingredient) would be part of what is added. Then immediately after that, one needs to put 1/2 cup of apple juice in the bottom of the pan. Is that a second measure of 1/2 cup of apple juice? And where does the 1 Tbsp. of apple juice go? There is no mention of it. I am one of those people who can’t cook unless the recipe tells me exactly what to do and when! Thanks for any clarification you can give me.
