Baked Apples with Apple-Cranberry Oatmeal (makes 2 servings; total cost per serving: ~ $2!!!)

Ingredients:
3 medium Granny Smith apples
1 c rolled oats
1 c dried cranberries
1 c water
3/4 c nonfat milk
1 T raw sugar
1/2 t ground cinnamon
1/4 t ground nutmeg
Pinch of salt (optional)
Juice of half lemon

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Lightly spray a small baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
2. Carefully slice off the top third of two apples. Remove the core & seeds, leaving about 1/2″ of flesh on the sides & bottom so the apple is still sturdy. Reserve the flesh in a small bowl and add a few drops of lemon juice to prevent the apple from browning. Discard the seeds & cores.
3. Place the apples (including the “lids”) in the prepared baking dish and bake for about 15 minutes. In the meantime, peel and core the third apple, then cut into 1/2″ chunks. Place in a small bowl and toss together with the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
4. In a medium saucepan, bring the water & milk to a boil. Add the oats, reduce heat to medium low, and cook for about a minute. Remove from heat and stir in the apples & cranberries until completely combined. Check for flavoring and adjust according to taste.
5. When the apples are finished baking, remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Once they’re cool enough to handle, transfer to a small plate and spoon a generous helping of oatmeal into each apple. Return to the oven for about 5 more minutes until apples are tender. Carefully remove from oven, garnish with extra ground cinnamon if you like, and enjoy!

No, sometimes I like living on the edge...but its an apple and fat free oatmeal so it won't break the bank.
