Easy Healthy Baked Apple

I think my mother made this up back in the dieting days. It's great to satisfy a sweet tooth, quick and easy, and can be manipulated in so many ways. I like to add slightly less cinnamon than usual, and add in ginger, vanilla and cloves for a kick. All amount are approximate, this is very much an "eyeball it" recipe! Show more
