• dash salt

Directions

Wash and core apples. Sprinkle with just a dash of salt. Place in microwave-safe dish. Spoon raisins, brown sugar (or syrup), and margarine into apple centers. Sprinkle with apple pie spice. Add 1/4 inch of water to dish bottom. Cook and cover 10 minutes on high in microwave or until tender when fork tested. Let set 5 minutes. Conventional ovens are fine, but preheat to 350 degrees F and bake 25-30 minutes in muffin tins with 1/4 inch water added to each muffin cup. Low-fat, low-calorie frozen yogurt may be added on top.
