‘Tis the season for fresh picked apples!

It is said that “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”, and it’s a sweet and crunchy treat this time of year. Apple pie is the dessert that probably comes to mind as soon as you smell the sweet smells of baked apples.

This recipe for Baked Apples with Granola bakes one of our favorite Fall fruits and topping it with granola, with a little butter and brown sugar. Adding in some cinnamon and nutmeg brings back those classic apple pie flavor but without the crust and baking in a lot less time.

Adding the crunchy granola gives this healthy treat a nice play on textures – but don’t forget to top it off with some French vanilla ice cream to make it a complete dessert!
