Candied Apple Nuggets with Truvía® Brown Sugar Blend

Directions

• 1.

  Pre-heat the oven to 325 F (160 C).

• 2.

  Line an 8-inch square or 8”-diameter cake pan with non-stick foil.

• 3.

  Peel the apples. Cut a thin slice from the bottom of one apple to create a flat surface.

• 4.

  Cut the core from the apple by standing the apple on the flat side so the stem faces up.

• 5.

  Cut one side off the apple as close to the core as possible.

• 6.

  Then cut a similar slice from the opposite side of the apple.

• 7.

  Cut the remaining two sides as close to the core as possible.

• 8.

  Cut each smaller piece in half cross wise.

• 9.

  Then cut the larger pieces in half in both directions, creating 12 pieces total.

• 10.

  Repeat with the remaining apple.

• 11.

  Transfer the apple pieces to a medium mixing bowl.

• 12.

  Mix them with the Truvía® Brown Sugar Blend, lemon juice, butter, and cinnamon until they are evenly coated.

• 13.

  Place the apples on the prepared pan so they don’t touch.

• 14.

  Drizzle any remaining liquid from the bowl evenly over the apples.

• 15.

  Bake the apples for 20 minutes, and then flip them, brushing them over any liquid remaining on the pan.

• 16.

  Bake them 20 more minutes, then flip them again, brushing them over any remaining liquid or gooey-ness.

• 17.

  Continue baking them until the apples are golden brown and soft throughout (the insides should be completely tender), about 20 minutes.

• 18.

  Enjoy immediately.
