Stuffed apples with port-infused dates in a luscious sticky sauce.

Ingredients:

85g (1/2 cup) pitted dates, chopped
40.00 ml port
Olive oil spray
32.00 gm brown sugar
40.00 ml pine nuts, lightly toasted
1 tsp finely grated lemon rind
1.25 gm ground cinnamon
10.00 gm reduced-fat margarine
4 medium Granny Smith apples, cored
250ml (1 cup) apple juice
Low-fat vanilla yoghurt, to serve

Instructions:

In a bowl, mix the dates and port together. Let them sit for 3-4 hours to soak and enhance the flavors.
Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease the base of a baking dish with oil. Mix together the dates, sugar, pine nuts, lemon zest, cinnamon, and margarine in a bowl.
Carefully score a shallow, horizontal cut around each apple with a sharp knife to keep the skin intact. Fill each apple center with the date mixture and pour apple juice around them in the dish.
Loosely cover the pan with foil and bake for 40 minutes, basting the apples occasionally with apple juice until tender. Serve with a dollop of yogurt.
