Delicious ‼️
My Cereal keeps getting burn. I just put a piece of parchment paper over them. Does this happen to anyone else ? Othe than that delicious !
Needs more than 30 minutes of baking.
Stuffing quantity is excessive.
Not great, just average.

I love these. Everytime I make them there are never any left! I have a friend who has Diabetes and He will even eat these. We top them with a bit of cool whip and eat them like they were apple cobbler! We don’t add the cerial with dryed fruit jus tthe sugar and walnuts. Still a hit!
This is a really simple dessert to make and it’s healthier than a lot of other baked apple recipes out there. I did not have the lemon juice and felt that the apples color still came out nice and they didn’t burn. I used pecans instead of walnuts.
While doing my Thanksgiving shopping, I recalled the few items in this recipe and thought I’d go for it. I couldn’t remember the name of the cereal, so I used Special K with the fruit in it. Thanksgiving came, and I whipped these up in no time, letting the kids fill the apples with the mixture. I didn’t have muffin tins, so I used the bottom side of a muffin pan. It kept the apples in place while stuffing and baking. End result, they were absolutely delicious! Warm with the icecream tasted like apple pie, and the crunch mixture inside was what my seven year old daughter said reminded her of a carmel apple. I know for certain these will be made again. Easy to make with superb taste and texture. Yum!
Delicious and SO easy! My Mom doesn’t like apples much and LOVED this.
loved it, it was easy and it taste great!
Really good when warm with the ice cream! Had a bit of difficulty stuffing the apples, might crush up the cereal a bit next time. Great fall dessert for the family though!
I made this last night–my husband and parents LOVED IT and I LOVED that it was so easy to make.
