Baked Apples Revamped
One of my favorite snacks is baked apples, sliced up with a sprinkle of sugar or Splenda. But for when you want something a little extra special, this dessert works like a charm. In my mind, just the presentation makes it special, rather than a gloppy mess of brown sugar, oats and shriveled apple slices, you get a beautiful apple bowl overflowing with oats and a little bit of sweetness.
