Ingredients

1/3	cup	cherries	dried, coarsely chopped
3	tablespoons	almonds	chopped
1	tablespoon	wheat germ
1	tablespoon	brown sugar	firmly packed
1/2	teaspoon	cinnamon, ground
1/8	teaspoon	nutmeg	ground
1 3/4	pounds	apples	golden delicious
1/2	cup	apple juice
1/4	cup	water
2	tablespoons	honey	dark
2	teaspoons	walnut 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 flesh.

Working from the stem end, core each apple, stopping 3/4 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.

Super Low Fat Tomato Sauce

It is worth the effort to hunt through stores to find the canned Italian plum tomatoes imported from Italy. It makes such a huge difference than big brand tomatoes. It is the only canned tomatoes I have seen WITHOUT huge amounts of salt added. Check the label, if the canned tomatoes you use have salt there will be no need to add any to this recipe. Wish there was a way to remove the salt once it has been added to the can.
