Baked Apple Snack Stacks

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Slice apples in 1/4 inch rounds. Rub slices with lemon to prevent browning. Using a paring knife, cut the core out of center slices of the apple, leaving the rounds intact.

3. 3

   Sprinkle each slice/round with cinnamon sugar on both sides.

4. 4

   If using almonds or walnuts, sprinkle nuts and raisins on the bottom slice of each apple. Sandwich with the next consecutive slice/round. Continue sandwiching nuts and raisins until all slices are used and apple is whole.

5. 5

   Stick toothpicks in the top to secure and ensure apple slices don't slide apart while baking (if toothpicks are unavailable and slices do slide apart, they can simply be re-stacked once cooled).

6. 6

   Bake 35-40 minutes or until apples are soft but firm and can easily be pierced with a fork.

7. 7

   Serve warm or at room temperature.

8. 8

   Note: cinnamon sugar can be made by simply combining 1 cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
