Baked Granola Apples

Baked Granola Apples are perfect for a healthy dessert or even breakfast.

Swap out the almonds and cherries for any nuts and dried fruits you like, though we loved the combination of cherry and almond.

Serve with vanilla ice cream for a dessert reminiscent of apple pie without the crust.
