One bite of these Nutty Baked Apples and you'll feel like you've just sunk your teeth into a warm bite of apple pie, but without the large amount of fat and carbs from the dough!

What You'll Need

4 baking apples
1 cup water
1 stick cinnamon
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons light butter, melted
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

What to Do

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Cut apples in half vertically and core them. Place cut-side up in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Pour water around apples and place cinnamon stick in the water.
In a small bowl, combine walnuts, butter, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and the nutmeg; mix well. Spoon mixture evenly onto apples.
In another small bowl, combine remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and the granulated sugar; sprinkle evenly over the apples. Cover baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until apples are tender. Serve warm.
