Baked Apples with Peanut Butter

Ingredients

1/2 cup Cinnamon Raisin Swirl peanut butter
1/2 cup (1 stick) plus 4 tsp. butter, softened
4 large red apples, cored
4 tsp, sugar
Vanilla yogurt or ice cream

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees fahrenheit.

2. In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter and the 1/2 cup butter until well combined. Spoon the peanut butter mixture into the hollow center of the apple, packing in in tightly. Top each apple with 1 teaspoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of sugar.

3. Set the apples in a baking dish with 1/4 cup of water and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the apples are fully cooked. While they're baking, baste the apples once or twice with the juice from the bottom of the pan. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving with vanilla yogurt or ice cream.
