Healthy And Delicious: Baked Apples With Barley-Sausage Pilaf Recipe

   In a medium pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add sausage and onion and cook, stirring, until onion is translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Add barley and stir to coat with oil. Cook, stirring, until barley smells nutty, about 2 minutes. Stir in broth and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook until barley is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, 40 to 50 minutes. Stir in walnuts and cinnamon.

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prick apples with fork in several places (this will prevent them from bursting while baking). Halve apples lengthwise and cut out core with a paring knife or grapefruit spoon.
