My Mom often made baked apples for dessert and since I just came across her recipe I'm making these as a Valentines day treat for hubby and myself. They make a quick, easy and healthy low carbohydrates, low calorie, low salt dessert but don't tell my husband!

Ingredients:
4 medium apples, unpeeled
2 teaspoons butter
½ teaspoon Watkins ground cinnamon
4 teaspoons brown sugar, packed
¼ cup whipped cream, optional

Directions: Wash and core apples, taking care not to cut through the bottom of the apple. Mix cinnamon and brown sugar. Stuff each apple with about 1 teaspoon of the mixture and top with one-half teaspoon of butter. Bake at 350 degrees F for thirty minutes. Cool and top each apple with 1 tablespoon of whipped cream if desired. (Serves 4)

I've had people ask me why the recipes I give them don't taste as good when they make them as when I do.  So, I'll tell you my secret, they won't taste the same if your don't use the same ingredients I do. If I use butter and you use margarine it's not going to taste the same as when I made it, and the same goes for Watkins spices, seasonings, extracts and other pantry essentials. I only use Watkins and you will taste the difference when you do too.
