Pop'ems Stuffed Baked Apples
Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 4 large apples
• 12 Dr. Fuhrman's Date Nut Pop'ems, any flavor
• cinnamon
• nutmeg

Instructions: Using an apple corer, or sharp knife, core the apples. Squeeze three pop'ems together to form a log. Stuff the pop'ems in the center of apple. Place apples in a baking pan, and sprinkle apples with cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Bake at 375 degrees for 1/2 hr.

Another idea is to core an apple and spoon almond butter, cashew butter or peanut butter into the center and top with raisins and/or unsweetened coconut, or place a date/coconut roll in the center, instead of the nut butter. These may also be either baked or left as is.
