2 tbsp (25 mL) raisins or dried cranberries
2 tbsp (25 mL) packed brown sugar
4 tsp (20 mL) butter or margarine, softened
4 Nature Valley* Crunchy Granola Bars, (2 pouches from 210 g pkg), any flavour, crushed

Steps

1

Cut apples in half lengthwise. Using spoon, remove and discard cores, making at least a 1-inch (2.5 cm) indentation in each apple half. In microwavable pie plate, arrange apple halves, cut sides up. If needed, cut thin slice off bottoms to keep halves from tipping.
2

Fill each apple half evenly with raisins and brown sugar; dot with butter. Cover with microwavable plastic wrap, folding back one edge 1/4- inch (6 mm) to vent steam.
3

Microwave on High 5 to 6 minutes or until apples are tender. Top each with granola. Serve with milk, cream or yogurt if desired.

Expert Tips

Tip 1
Tip: Traditional baking apples such as Granny Smith or Rome Beauty can also be used for a less-sweet taste. Easily crush the granola bars right in the pouch with your fingers or rolling pin.
