Baked Apples With Dried Cherries And Walnuts

Baked Apples with Dried Cherries and Walnuts

8  Rome apples
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup walnut pieces
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 tablespoons Greek yogurt
cinnamon for garnish

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Core each apple with an apple corer to about 1/2" from bottom. Peel tops of apples about 1". Fill cavity with dried cherries, walnuts, butter, and brown sugar - alternating ingredients while filling. Push cherries and walnuts down with thumb, to be able to fit plenty of filling.  Top each apple with 1/2 tablespoon of butter and generously sprinkle cinnamon over the tops of apples.

Bake apples for 45-60 minutes. Transfer baked apples to a plate. Pour remaining liquid from apples into a bowl and add the Greek yogurt. Whisk mixture, and drizzle over each apple. Top each apple with cinnamon.

Served at Brooklyn Fork and Spoon's March 12th Dinner.
