Ingredients

chopped walnuts

2 Tbsp

fresh apple(s)

4 medium, McIntosh variety

Weight Watchers Reduced Fat Mexican style blend shredded cheese

½ cup(s)

shredded wheat

2 oz, crushed, or 1/4 cup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the nuts on a baking sheet and bake until golden and fragrant, 4–5 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a plate to cool.
  2. Pare the skin from the top third of the apples. Core the apples, leaving a 1/2-inch base intact at the bottom and a 11/2-inch wide opening at the top. Place the apples in a small baking pan, cover loosely with foil, and bake until tender, about 15 minutes.
  3. Combine the walnuts, cheese, and cereal in a bowl. Stuff the apples with the cheese mixture. Cover loosely with the foil and return to the oven. Bake until the cheese melts and the apples are tender, about 5 minutes. Let cool 10-15 minutes before serving. Yields 1 apple per serving.

Notes

Just about any other apple variety would work here, but be sure the apples are baked until tender before you fill them with the cheese and nut mixture.You can store leftover baked apples in the refrigerator for a day or two and reheat them in a microwave oven at 50% power for 1-2 minutes.
