What You Need

baking apples (2-3/4 lb.)

cup apple juice

1/4

cup packed brown sugar

1/2

tsp. ground cinnamon

cup KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

1/4

cup raisins

1/4

cup chopped PLANTERS Pecans, toasted

Make It

HEAT oven to 350°F.

REMOVE cores from apples to within 1/2 inch of bottoms of apples; pierce peels with small sharp knife. Stand apples in shallow baking dish.

MIX juice, sugar and cinnamon; pour over apples.

BAKE 30 to 35 min. or until apples are tender, basting occasionally with juice mixture. Remove apples from oven. Combine cheese, raisins and nuts; spoon into centers of apples. Let stand 1 min.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Prepare using any variety of baking apple, such as Empire, Granny Smith, Braeburn, Cortland, Jonathan and McIntosh.

How to Toast Nuts

Toasting nuts adds crunch and intensifies their flavor. To toast nuts in the oven, spread nuts in single layer in shallow baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 8 to 10 min. or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. To toast nuts on the stovetop, place nuts in ungreased skillet. Cook on medium heat until golden brown, stirring frequently. To toast nuts in the microwave, place up to 1 cup of nuts in a microwaveable shallow dish. Microwave on HIGH until fragrant and crisp, stirring every 30 sec.

i skip the cheese and cored completely. i alternated brown sugar and butter on the inside of the apples and baked them. awesome with vanilla ice cream and caramel.

I had never heard of baked apples with cheese. I was plesantly suprised, though I think I prefer my mother's old fashioned red hots to the cheese. The rasins really added great flavor.

This was interesting. I think it's probably great for kids...good, healthy snack. I did it as more of a dessert type thing but found that it really doesn't qualify too much for a dessert (at least not in my mind).

Loved the recipe - although I use only Granny Smith apples for baking desserts, I only used Rome apples for Baked Apples.

I agree with the others, the red apples were the best. The cheese was terrible. I tried it again and used the following: Brown sugar - pecans - butter It made a caramel type sauce and topped it with cool whip.......no cheese.

I made this recipe twice. The first time I used Granny Smith apples (tart apples). It was okay. Kids loved the sweet, tart taste. Second time I tried red sweet apples, VERY GOOD. Easy to do. My kids thought it was neat!

Made last night did not care for it,used maple crunch granola instead. Apples took a while longer werer not soft enought! Maybe wrong kind of apples but very dry.
