Ingredients

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Trim a thin slice off of the bottom of each apple. Cut the tops off and trim away skin of tops of apples, trim should be ½-inch wide. Hollow out the apples with a small paring knife, carving out a cavity for the filling. Rub the tops and cavities with wedges of lemon to retard browning.
Combine butter, brown sugar, granola and pecans in a medium bowl. Mixture should be crumbly; pack into apples.
3. Place apples in a shallow baking dish and add ¼-inch water to the dish. Cover with foil and bake apples for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes, until filling bubbles and apples are tender but not soft. Remove from oven. Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with light vanilla ice cream or light whipped topping, if desired.
