White House Warm Baked Apples With Dried Fruit

Ingredients:

2 tsp. canola oil

6 apple(s)

2 Tbsp. orange juice concentrate

6 Tbsp. dried fruit

6 tsp. brown sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly coat a 6-cup muffin tin with oil to prevent the apples from sticking to the tins. Remove the core of the apples by using a melon baller or a spoon. Lightly prick around the tops of the apples with a fork (this prevents the apples from splitting). Put the apples in the muffin tins and then fill each apple with 1 teaspoon orange juice concentrate, 1 tablespoon dried fruit, and 1 teaspoon brown sugar. Bake until the apples are soft, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Yield: 6 baked apples
Serving Size: One baked apple is a 1/2 cup fruit for a 3-5 year old at breakfast or snack.
