2 apples (Braeburn apples make great baking apples)
1/4 cup onions, chopped
1 medium garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup raw pecan halves
1 cup raw kale, torn into pieces
1/4 cup celery stalk, chopped
few leaves of fresh parsley
salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup vegetable stock
1/2 cup rice
1/4 cup dried tart cherries, or dried cranberries

1
Cook rice as directed.
2
Meanwhile, prep the apples. Start by cutting 1/3 of the top off, then use a spoon or metal ice cream scoop to hollow out the center. Make sure to keep the sides sturdy and intact. Set in an oven-safe baking dish and set aside.
3
Next, add EVOO, garlic, celery, and onions to a frying pan. Saute on low heat for 2 minutes.
4
Add pecans, kale, vegetable stock, parsley, salt, and pepper. Saute for 5 minutes.
5
Turn off heat and add dried tart cherries and cooked rice.
6
Using a spoon, fill the apples until overflowing. Add a little water to the baking dish (this adds moisture to help cook the apple and prevent it from sticking).
7
Bake on 425u00b0F for 25 minutes, or until apples are tender.
