Quick Baked Apples

It’s almost Fall and you know that means apples galore!  I was watching Home Made Simple the other night and they had this cool idea for a quick (and somewhat healthy) apple dessert.  I changed it up a bit and this is what I came up with – it was delicious, tasted just like apple pie and was super easy!

Ingredients:
4 Granny Smith Apples (or any other good baking apple)
2 frozen pie crusts
2 tsp. of Cinnamon
1 tsp. of Ground Cloves (or pumpkin pie spice)
4 tsp. brown sugar
A few pats of butter

Preheat the oven to 450.  Take frozen pie crusts out of the freezer and let defrost at room tempurature for a few minutes.  Meanwhile, peel and core the apples.  Take out pie crusts from the disposable pie pan and cut each in half.  Put the apples into a baking dish (I used the disposible pie crust plates) and wrap 1/2 of each pie crust around each apple leaving it open at the top.  Don’t worry if the crust doesn’t cover the entire apple – it will still be yummy.  Sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon and ground cloves inside the apples and put some small pats of butter inside and on top of the apples.  Bake at 450 degrees for about 45 mins or so.  You may have to cover them with foil during the last 15 or 20 minutes if they get too dark.  When you take them out of the oven, spoon the liquid at the bottom of the pan over the apples.  Serve with vanilla ice cream.
