This is our new favorite "dessert" and fits into into my mandated cooking healthy rules that my husband has given me. Thanks Martha Stewart!





Ingredients:

3 tablespoons dark brown sugar

1/2 cup rolled oats (not instant)

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Pinch of ground nutmeg

Pinch of ground cloves

1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

4 McIntosh apples

1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon milk

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon brown sugar over a baking sheet.

Combine oats, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and spices in the work bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth.

Add half the almonds and process until finely chopped.

Add remaining almonds; process until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a shallow bowl.

Peel apples and cut into quarters. Cut out cores.

Dip apples into egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Coat well with the oatmeal-nut mixture and transfer to prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until soft.
