Baked Apples…

Not a pretty picture, but mighty tasty! I usually have about 4 small apples leftover and before they go bad, I core and cube them up for a quick easy dessert!  I add a squeeze of lemon, 1 tablespoon of splenda and Trader Joe’s came up with a Pumpkin Pie Spice.  This spice is a blend of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, lemon peel, and cardamom.   I dash on the spice and also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.  I mix everything together and throw it in a sprayed baking dish.  The oven is set and ready to go at 350, cover the apples with some foil and bake for 40 minutes.  Eat it warm or cold, either way, this can easily satisfy the sweet tooth!

Until Monday – keep thinking veggies and protein!
