Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium apples (Honeycrisp or Gala recommended), halved and cored
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

  • 2. Place apple halves cut-side up in a baking dish.
  • 3. Brush apples with olive oil or melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and salt.
  • 4. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until apples are tender but not mushy.
  • 5. Remove from oven and sprinkle baked apples with dried cranberries and feta cheese.
